Starting the cornbread war all over again

Because there has not been a decent battle royal here in a while.

That looks like a very reasonable recipe.  I was gonna question your visiting a site called "gunfreezone" but I see that name is just... ironic or something.

Depends on what I plan to do with the cornbread.  Eaten with chili, greens(1), and other lunch/dinner victuals?  No sugar.  Eaten as a breakfast food with only butter as accompaniment?  Maybe so. 

That said, making it exactly as on the box is never wrong.  A little dab of sugar just might be more right for the circumstances.




(1) My absolute favorite.  A slice of no-sugar cornbread with collard/mustard/turnip greens is a little slice of heaven.

I had tried making cornbread in the past and totally sucked at it - no recipe ever came out right. Then a while back I found one on Food.com, a bit different than the one in the OP, but the similarity, and the trick (for me) being to preheat the cast iron skillet in the same way. My recipe calls for I think 1 cup of butter, adding 90% of it to the batter, and saving the other 10% to coat the skillet when you pull it out of the oven to pour in the batter. I'd like to try it with bacon grease sometime - that sounds good.

Best cornbread here 'bouts is at the Lizard's Thicket.  Store bought or home made; makes no difference.  Secret ingredient is pudding.

That sounds southern!!!

My grandmother on the Alabama side would cook up my grandfather's pancakes in the grease left over from frying up the bacon, then the eggs after that in the leftover grease. Then it would get poured into the tin bacon grease strainer for things like green beans and more bacon. ;)

I sometimes make myself a bacon and egg sandwich in the cast iron skillet. Part of my procedure is frying up extra bacon to get a good bunch of grease in the pan, then dropping the bread slices in it to soak up the grease and get crispy. Greasy eggs, greasy bacon, greasy bread. Delicious. :)

No cornbread with chili. Some toasted ciabatta is way better. I plan to try garlic bread next time.

No argument here. You just can't make good cornbread without essentials bacon grease and cast iron.
I like cornbread and jalapeno jelly alongside my venison chili.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

There is no such thing as "extra" bacon.
