Cheddar Bacon Cornbread image

Delicious! I added 2 crushed Habanero peppers to this cornbread, and boy was it ever good! You can leave out the heat of course. Mine was a little darker than usual...some in my house like the cheese nice and crispy on top. Yum! Enjoy! My photos

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large egg
1/4 c oil
1 1/2 c buttermilk
2 dried habanero peppers, crushed - heat is optional
2 c self-rising enriched white corn meal mix
1/2 lb bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/2 - 3/4 c shredded, cheddar cheese
1/4 c oil for skillet

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 450ºF. Coat 8-inch ovenproof skillet with about 1/4 cup oil, or enough keep from sticking. Heat skillet for a good 5 - 10 minutes. Oil should be good and hot, so when you add the batter it sizzles.
  • 2. Beat egg in medium bowl. Stir in milk, oil and corn meal and spice if using until smooth.
  • 3. Batter should be creamy and pourable. If too thick, add 1 or 2 tablespoons more milk. Pour into prepared skillet or pan. Sprinkle bacon and cheese evenly over batter. Using a fork, drag in a zig - zag motion throughout the batter, not going through to the bottom of the pan. As you don't want the cheese and bacon on the bottom.
  • 4. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until desired brownness. Yummy!
