This Bacon Cheeseburger Cornbread is total comfort food. My favorite part of this dish were the big chunks of melty cheese. SO good!!! This recipe was inspired by something my Mom recently ate at a party. She was telling me about it the last time I saw here, and I knew I had to recreate it at home.

This is my standard cornbread recipe loaded with hamburger, bacon and chunks of cheddar cheese. The dish my Mom ate didn't have bacon. I decided to add some bacon, because bacon! OMG! This was a huge hit in our house. We ate this with a quick side salad for an easy weeknight meal.

I used White Lily Self-Rising Buttermilk White Cornmeal mix. It is my go-to cornmeal mix for cornbread. If you can't find White Lily where you live, you could use Aunt Jemima Buttermilk Cornmeal Mix or Martha White Self-Rising Cornmeal Mix.
