re: Can we talk cornbread?

I like Jiffy mix.

If I were making it, I would pat the jalapenos dry, cook the jimmy dean (obviously) and pat dry, just add the cheddar, saute the onions, mushrooms and bell peppers until tender and remove excess oil.

Just follow the directions on the box and add the above ingredients to the mix.

To me, cooking it in a cast iron pot is the way to go. You may want to briefly warm the pot on the stove before putting it in the oven.

I think the key to avoid it being sloppy is not over doing it on the onions and bell peppers. They will likely continue to give off water while cooking.

Give it a try and make adjustments if needed the next time.
