[Sca-cooks] bacon in corn bread

[ysabeau]

I don't know about recipe books, but that is how my grandmother 
made it. We aren't African American...my heritage is pure West 
Virginia hillbilly (Clay County to be exact). I remember her 
keeping a coffee can next to the stove to collect the bacon grease 
for use in other recipes.
