Ingredients:

Serving

4 strips bacon, for garnish
12 oz extra-sharp white cheddar, grated
1/4 cup grated extra-sharp yellow cheddar
1 (7-oz) jar pimentos, drained and finely chopped
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tbsp neelys bbq seasoning, recipe follows
4 chopped scallions, for garnish
1 cup self-rising cornmeal
1 cup self-rising flour
2 tbsp sugar
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
3 tbsp melted butter
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 tsp seeded and chopped jalapeno
salt and freshly ground black pepper
7 oz green chiles, drained and chopped
3/4 cup white sugar
1 1/3 cups paprika
3 3/4 tbsp onion powder

Directions:

For the frosting:
Cook the bacon, over medium heat in a small skillet, until crisp. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain and cool, then chop and set aside. Combine the remaining ingredients, except the scallions, in a medium bowl and mix well. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
For the batter:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
In a large bowl add the flour, cornmeal, sugar, eggs, buttermilk and 3 tablespoons melted butter. Mix well to combine.
Saute onions and jalapenos using 1/4 tablespoon butter, about 2 minutes. Add salt, pepper and chiles. Remove from heat, cool slightly and add to the batter.
Spray 2 (12 capacity) muffin pans with nonstick spray. Fill the pans 3/4 full with the batter. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until golden. Let cool and frost with pimento cheese mixture. Garnish with chopped bacon and chopped scallions.
Neelys BBQ Seasoning:
Mix all ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
