My Grandma would make this, adding crispy crumbled bacon to the cooked mush before pouring it into the loaf pan(s)...then she'd fry the slices in bacon grease, and top with butter and maple syrup...so goood on cold winter mornings....sometimes she'd fry the slices and top each with a fried egg...Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
