Great recipe and the best cornbread I've ever had. I always thought my mom made the best corn bread but she just got bumped to second place. Sorry Mom. I made this to go along with some sloppy Joes but this was so good and we ate so much, it became the main course and the sloppy Joes became the side dish. Since a couple of reviewers stated it was a bit oily I cut back the oil by about one fourth and added a little extra butter milk. I served it with honey butter and it couldn't have been better.

This is the recipe I've been looking for! It is a bit oily for me so I cut back on the vegetable oil, not the bacon grease. It has just the right amount of heat and cheddar. I expected it to be too gritty without any flour but it has a good texture unless you like a high, fluffy, cake-like cornbread, but (for me) that isn't cornbread.
