Because I was on vacation last week and it kept raining on my yard work plans, I finally had time to make Chile Corn Bread again. So simple but so full of hot, steamy yumminess! Had it with some barbecued corn on the cob (Thank you Mexico) smothered in spiced butter.

One thing missing from this thread is the recipes instead of just making our mouths water without hope of replication. To hopefully start a trend, here is a simple one to spice up the barbecue. Sorry I don't have the corn bread one memorized but there is lots of variations to choose from on the ol' Interweb. I'm sure that's where I found this one.

Spiced Butter Recipe for BQed corn
1 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp oregano
1/8 tsp cayenne (or more depending on how hot you like it)
1/8 tsp onion powder
1/8 tsp taste
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 cup butter,

Mix above minus the butter.
Soften butter until it can be mixed with above.
Place on waxed paper to cool in fridge. It can then be rolled into more 'stick of butter like' cylinders.

Note: If you are making extra in one batch, the ratio for onion powder does not scale. Add only slightly more to taste.


With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.
