Jalapeno Bacon Cornbread is fantastic! This amazing southern style Tex-Mex cornbread starts with Hormel's Jalapeno Bacon. It has just enough heat to make the cornbread interesting without overwhelming the taste buds. Terrific to serve with soup or chili. If you enjoy a little zip in your cornbread, this is the perfect recipe for you.

Instructions
Cook bacon over medium heat in a large skillet.
Be careful not to cook too long or on too high of a heat so the bacon scorches!

Mix all ingredients in a large mixing bowl until well blended.
Pour into a greased 9x9” or 8x12” baking dish.
Bake at 425° for 20-25 minutes.
Notes
NOTE: To sour milk, place milk in a measuring cup. Add about a tablespoon of vinegar. Allow contents to sit out on counter for about 5 minutes until milk curdles.NOTE: The amount of bacon used is dependent on how hot you want the cornbread; you can increase to 6 slices if you prefer).
