Cooking Instructions:

Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cooking Time: 35 minutes
*Makes about 8 servings

Ingredients:

  • 8 slices bacon
  • 2 eggs
  • 8 oz sour cream
  • 1 cup self-rising cornmeal mix
  • 1 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 cup finely chopped bell pepper
  • 1½ cups chopped fresh tomato
  • 1 cup sweet pickle relish or cubes
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 8-12 oz finely grated sharp cheddar cheese

Cooking Steps:

A) The first thing to do is to make to cornbread. Set oven to 400 degrees to preheat. Using your cast iron skillet (preferably 10-inch) carefully fry the bacon. Once done cooking, crumble bacon into bits and set aside (keep two tablespoons of the bacon juice for later use).
B) Clean the cast iron skillet off with a paper towel then put the 2 tablespoons of bacon juice back on the pan. Carefully put into the oven to warm up.
C) In a clean bowl, beat the eggs and add sour cream and cornmeal; mix very well! Take the skillet out of the oven and put the bacon juice into the batter, stir, and then pour the batter into the cast iron skillet. Bake for 20 minutes. Take out of oven and set it aside to cool for 5 minutes. When cooled, crumble into a large bowl.
D) Now it is time to construct the salad. Using a bowl, mix the onion, bell pepper, tomato, pickle relish, and mayonnaise. Then add the salad to the crumble mix.
E) Leave in the refrigerator overnight (with a plastic cover). The next day, take it out and sprinkle grated cheese and bacon bits before you serve. Enjoy!
