Central Illinois is one of the major corn and pork producing areas of the country, so this bread is naturally a favorite here. I dress up the batter with corn, onion and cheese, and then I top it with poppy seeds and bacon. —Carol Roper, Litchfield, Illinois

Ingredients

  • 1 package (8-1/2 ounces) cornbread/muffin mix
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup frozen corn, thawed
  • 1/3 cup 2% milk
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated onion
  • 5 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
  • 1/2 teaspoon poppy seeds, optional
  • 1/8 teaspoon paprika

Directions

  1. In a bowl, combine the first 6 ingredients just until blended. Pour into a greased 8-in. square baking dish. Sprinkle with bacon, poppy seeds if desired and paprika. Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cut into squares; serve warm.
