NEW ORLEANS SKILLET BAKED CORNBREAD
This cornbread makes an excellent side for "New Orleans Red Beans and Rice" recipe #87365. This recipe also comes from the same cookbook, "The New Orleans CookBook" by Rima and Richard Collin. I highly recommend using bacon grease (I used pepper bacon) rather than shortening to grease the cast iron skillet. I have made this recipe both ways and the bacon adds that extra special touch that really gives a nice tie-in with the Red Beans and Rice.
