Tonight, I made Black-eyed Peas Soup and wanted to make some homemade cornbread to accompany it. I found this recipe at AllRecipes and made some adjustments. My favorite thing about this cornbread is the ooey chunks of gooey cheese that you bite into. YUM!

1/2 teaspoon salt
4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese chopped in small chunks

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8 inch square pan or deep dish pie plate.
2. Melt butter in microwave and stir in sugar. Quickly add eggs and beat until well blended. Combine buttermilk with baking soda and stir into butter and egg mixture. Stir in cornmeal, flour, and salt until well blended and few lumps remain. Fold in cheese, peppers and corn. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
