For this dinner I was once again reminded why I am not allowed to bake. I attempted to make a batch of red pepper corn bread to serve with our grilled steak and Brussel's sprouts.
I popped open a bag of cornbread mix and followed the directions to a tee adding the exact right amounts of water, oil & egg. I used a whisk to mix to the right consistency and then chopped up a fresh bell pepper and stirred that into the mix. I poured it into the baking pan and baked for the prescribed period of time, testing with a toothpick to ensure it came out clean.
Everything looked good until I flipped it over onto the cooling rack and it promptly fell apart. What I had neglected to account for what the additional liquid that would bake out of the peppers and completely throw off the mixture. Yes, that's why what was supposed to be cornbread looks surprisingly like rice in the picture. On the bright side, it was still tasty, albeit a little mushy.
