1/4 cup sugar

Add a little more oil to the pan and saute the feferonis/jalapeños for 8 - 10 minutes on medium high heat.

Add the feferonis/jalapeños and green chiles to the onion/garlic mixture.

Now add the cream style corn, butter, milk, and egg to the dry ingredients and mix until just moistened. Do not over mix.

Stir in the onion, garlic, jalapeno, green chile mixture, and cheese till just mixed in.

Pour the cornbread mixture into a greased 9 x 13 inch glass pan. Bake at *375 for 25 -30 minutes. Enjoy!
