1. Grease a 9-inch square baking pan. Set aside.

2. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cream corn, sour cream, safflower oil, lightly beaten eggs, finely chopped onion, green pepper, and jalapeno pepper.

3. Stir these together until everything is evenly distributed.

4. In a larger bowl, whisk together the yellow cornmeal, baking powder, and salt.

5. Add the wet ingredient mixture to the bowl of dry ingredients.
