Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure that your Squatters Hell's Keep is cooked evenly.

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Mixing Wet Ingredients

  1. 3

    Prepare Wet Mixture

    In a separate bowl, mix together the buttermilk, eggs (beaten), vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.

Combining Mixtures

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

  2. 5

    Add Flavor Additions

    Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped jalapeños until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Baking

  1. 6

    Pour and Bake

    Pour the batter into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  2. 7

    Cool

    Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes before cutting into squares.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve with Toppings

    Serve warm, topped with sour cream, chopped green onions, and hot sauce as desired.
