Cornbread with Ham, Onions and Tomatoes

Homemade goodness. We have fried just about everything in cornbread here in Florida. If you need the calories this is for you. Mr. Winter's shivers will be justified on this one. It can almost be counted as a complete meal, by itself.
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Get the ham that has the least amount of white streaks in it. Remove the white tough membrane. Chop the onions, chives, and bell pepper. Mince the ham.
- 2
Mix the lard, flour, cornbread mix, egg, sugar, baking powder, pepper, onion mixture, ham, and salt. Add the tomato and its juices. Then finally stir in the water.
- 3
Heat the lard it will smoke, it will burn, if you're not careful. Spoon in a clump and fry. Turn often or it will char. Pile them on a paper towel till all are done. I hope you enjoy!!

Cornbread Cornbread
This is a recipe from Alex Guarnaschelli that I amend slightly due to my liking. My family would be ashamed of me because this is not exactly southern cornbread, but I like it kind of smooth (less crumbly) and what they don’t know won’t hurt them. The other sinful thing I like, which I would strongly suggest, is putting an obscene amount of buttermilk into this cornbread (more than the recipe calls for) and pulling it out of the oven early so the middle is still raw. It sounds crazy, but try it. PlainAddieJane -

Cornbread Casserole Cornbread Casserole
There was this Italian Restaurant in Lower Manhattan that made great Polenta over Sausage and Peppers. I love polenta, but you have to stir it a lot to make. I decided to try a short cut and came up with this idea. Not as creamy as that old restaurant, but still very good. Another crowd favorite in my large and picky family.Basically, this can be made with any meat and vegetable combination. In the future, I plan on making it over Chicken & Broccoli. So far, I have made it over Chicken & Peppers and Sausage & Peppers(Twice). For the picture, I made it over Sausage &Peppers.I hope that you enjoy it as much as I did. The only negative to this dish is when it is over. :-(Enjoy! J.A.B. -
Cornbread Mix Cornbread Mix
Have you ever seen a recipe that called for something you never heard of, or cannot get. Here is one that is sometimes hard to find and isn't as popular as it used to be. As folks come to your area old things can get lost and new things introduced. As generations pass so does some of the old ways of cooking, " new and improved" ways. The more impossible substitute, and genetically modified organisms we put into our bodies the more modified organisms we become. We are what we eat. We have to eat. As long as I still have a choice I want to enjoy what I eat. I want to eat my comfort food I remember eating long ago. skunkmonkey101 -

My favorite thing to eat with chili (or any dinner really). I love cornbread! I usually leave out the corn kernels, because of my picky children, but this recipe is delicious either way. Steps include directions and cook times for both bread and Muffin variations. Recipe from Sallysbakingaddiction.com Christina
