This recipe is easy to throw together in less than five, let it bake while the soup or stew simmers. I made it without the bacon, and threw in a can of roasted chilis (4oz) to accompany vegetarian chili.
This corn bread is soo good especially along side soup or stew! Yum!
This is a gread recipe. I have used it (minus the bacon drippings, and I use the exact amount of finely chopped green pepper instead of the onion) many times. I got the recipe from a Taste of Home magazine a couple of years ago and I love it. It goes great with beans or something that does not have a very strong flavor because this bread certainly does.
I love this recipe! I sometimes include some chopped green chilies, but most of the time I make it just the way the recipe states.
