Recipe Tips

  • If the middle of the cornbread is still uncooked, but the top is starting to burn, then place some aluminum foil over the top. This method will allow the bread to continue to cook but help prevent the top from burning.
  • This recipe uses raw bacon, but you can use crispy cooked bacon instead.
  • Polenta and cornmeal are the same thing so you can use either one.
