Bill this is an excellent corn bread recipe! I made pulled pork barbeque over the weekend the your corn bread was just perfect to go with it. I really enjoyed the addition of the Monterey Jack Cheese and the bacon grease which helped to give it great texture and flavor. Thank you, Bill for this great recipe!

When I was 19, I remember one day looking at a box of good ol' macaroni and cheese and I had a nerve wracking time making it, holding the box like it was a talisman, consulting it every 30 seconds. That was the same day I'd vowed I would learn to cook. Honestly, I didn't expect I'd enjoy it so much, and I try to learn as many different disciplines as I can on my own. While you will almost never see a bread or cake recipe from me (I can't seem to do them right), I hope my meager offerings please the palate...and more importantly, the stomach!
Bueno Apetito!
