Cornbread was a staple at the dinner table in my house, and to be honest I’m not entirely sure why. We’ve never done a lot of southern cooking- I’m from Chicago and Las Vegas- but I’m definitely not complaining! Cornbread is such a delicious dish that goes well with so many different foods- and it’s so easy to customize, too!

With summer heating up, I thought I’d heat it up a bit in the kitchen too with this delicious Jalapeño Cornbread Swirls Recipe! It starts with some shortcut ingredients that make this recipe even faster and easier than traditional cornbread, so it’s perfect for those hot summer nights when you don’t want to spend all day in the kitchen!
Do you Have to Use the Premade Cornbread Swirls?
For this particular recipe, yep. There’s probably a good way to make cornbread swirls on your own and if you know a great way, feel free to share it in the comments!

What Ingredients Go Into Jalapeño Cornbread Swirls?
This recipe could NOT be easier- since it uses premade cornbread swirls it only needs 3 ingredients! All you’ll need to pick up from the store is Pillsbury Corn Bread Swirls, Shredded Cheddar Cheese, and a Jalapeno!
Are these Cheddar Cornbread Swirls Vegetarian?
So I recently learned that corn bread is not always vegetarian- some of the top brand mixes contain animal derived ingredients. But the Pillsbury Cornbread Swirls are in fact vegetarian and since the only added ingredients are cheddar cheese and jalapenos, these are definitely vegetarian.
Want to make them vegan? I haven’t called the company to confirm, but these swirls appear to be vegan {they’ve even confirmed that their monoglycerides and diglycerides are from vegetable derivatives}- so simply use a plant-based cheddar instead of conventional and you can easily make these vegan!
