Bacon Cheese Corn Bread Bites

Corn bread is frequently on the dinner table at our house and my boys love to snack on the leftovers.  When I baked these little corn bread muffins and added bacon and cheese, there were no leftovers!  They absolutely loved them.

Corn bread goes with any meal, from fried catfish to pinto beans, chili or classic pot roast.  Speaking of chili, I have a kickin’ chili recipe for you later in the week.

I generally make corn bread in a cast iron skillet but on occasion I change it up and make mini muffins.  Perfect for kids and mini anything is just more fun!

Did you know that there is a National Corn Bread Festival & Cookoff?  I love cornbread and I bet this would be a really fun event!
