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.

  2. 2

    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

  1. 4

    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.
