Cornbread wrapped in bacon with hot dogs in the middle

This self contained comfort food meal will appeal to the kid in everyone.  Your taste buds will explode with the savoriness of this meal.  You're ready to run to the kitchen aren't you?  It's as delicious as you think it will be.  

Here is the recipe!

8 slices thick cut bacon

2 cups flour

1 cup cornmeal

3/4 cup sugar

1 tspn salt

2 cups buttermilk (or 2 cups milk

with 2 tblspn lemon juice added)

1/4 cup Olive Oil

4 oz unsalted butter, melted

1 Tbls diced Banana peppers

1 Tbls diced Jalapeno peppers

1/2 Cup grated pepper jack cheese

2 tspn paprika

4 hot dogs. (Beef, Chicken or Turkey)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Line a large loaf pan with the bacon slices (so that the

slices go across the pan and up the sides.)  I use a stoneware loaf pan by Emile Henry.

Mix the flour, cornmeal, salt, paprika and baking powder

in a mixing bowl.

Make the buttermilk by mixing milk and lemon juice (unless

you are using buttermilk), mix in the oil and melted butter.

Mix together the wet ingredients and dry with a fork.

Add the eggs and mix in with fork, make sure eggs are

blended.

Mix in the diced peppers and grated cheese and mix lightly.

Pour the batter into loaf pan lined with the bacon.

Place hot dogs longways on top of the batter, in two

rows.  Gently press the hog dogs down into the batter.

bake for about 1 hour or until cake is set and top is

golden.


Enjoy!!!!!
