Bacon Sweet Potato Cornbread

Description

A classic, old-fashioned, dense skillet corn bread gets jazzed up with bacon and sweet potato. I started with another recipe, added sweet potato and bacon, and substituted bacon grease for the shortening. Serve warm in wedges with butter.

  • 5 slices bacon
  • 1 ¼ cups cornmeal
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup mashed cooked sweet potato
  • 1 cup buttermilk
