I chop at least a 1/2 LB of bacon and brown it, when making this cornbread, I use a 1/2 cup of bacon dripping instead of the oil, and sprinkle the bacon into the pan, yeah more calories but so good. I've never browned the onions with the ground beef, they just goes into the baking pan, I got this recipe from Ida Carter a hundred years ago, LOL, she was from Quanah , Texas, she was the best cook ever,

I made this for a pot luck banquet dinner. I thought it tasted great. I used a box of Jiffy cornbread mix instead of cornmeal. It came out great. The cornbread mixture is thin. The meat sort of sinks into the mixture. I was concerned when I was putting it together, but it came a great. 45 min cooking time worked perfectly.

This was really good! We had sharp cheese on hand and so we used 1/2 less than called for. I would have liked it if the bottom of it was a little less moist but my mom thought it was just right. My mom also thought that it would have been nice to use Owen's ground breakfast sausage instead of ground beef. Oh, and we left out the peppers, but I think it would have given it a nice kick if we had put it in. Overall, great recipe- we'll make it again.
