Jalapeno Bacon Cornbread

Teresa Ambra
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.
