Sift together the flour, salt, pepper, sugar and baking powder in a medium bowl. Add the cheese and gently toss and stir until it is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
In a separate bowl, combine milk, oil and egg and whisk together. Pour mixture into well in center of flour and stir mix together lightly with a wooden spoon. Add peppers and stir just until dry ingredients are all combined. The batter should be lumpy.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and place in the oven. Bake until top is golden brown, and springs back when touched in the center, about 45-50 minutes. Cool on a rack for 10 minutes, then remove the bread from the pan and eat warm!
Enjoy.

This is pure winter, comfort food (from Florida!). What cheesey goodness with a little spice. Saving this. Many winter nights ahead where I need melty goodness and some heat!

That would go great with so many things. I could see it being a side with bbq or a base to a skewer of grilled shrimp in a very extreme adaptation of \”shrimp and grits\” (corn/grits). Happy holidays to you guys!
