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!

Welcome to my Super Bowl Bash! An all bacon party! You know bacon makes everything better and I thought you might need a few last minute ideas so I put this together for you. First up is my Bacon Garlic Bread Sticks : Pizza dough topped with cheese and bacon with a little marinara for dipping of course.
Next up are the Bacon Tomato Basil Tarts: An herb crust filled with tomato, cheese and bacon. Drooling, aren’t you? They are like little bites of heaven. Come to think of it, I will be making these for sure!
Sweet Pepper Poppers: Sweet peppers filled with cheese and cream cheese, wrapped in bacon, brushed with barbecue sauce, these are always the first to disappear at my house. Great for kids and those of us who can’t handle the jalapeno, that’s me if you were wondering.
