Bacon Cheddar Corn Bread Recipe
Kick your cornbread up a notch! This simple but delicious Bacon Cheddar Corn Bread Recipe is simply incredible!
We were eating dinner the other night and my son said, “I wish this cornbread had bacon in it. Everything is better with bacon!” My hubby chimed in with “And Cheese! Bacon & Cheese!” Well, who doesn’t like a good Cheese or/and Bacon Recipe?!
Well….there you have it. Apparently, everything is better with Bacon and Cheese. So I revamped my cornbread recipe to include both, and it is OFF THE CHARTS amazing. Plus I love that it is Gluten Free so my son can enjoy it too!
PS: If you don’t have a Cast Iron Skillet you should! I love mine and use them FOR EVERYTHING! Amazon has some great deals on Cast Iron! Plus they ship free with orders over $25 or Amazon Prime!
