Meaty Cornbread Squares image

Working full-time outside of the home doesn't allow me to cook as often as I'd like. So when I get a spare moment, I create plenty of delicious foods for my family. This is an all-time favorite I'm asked to make often.

This cornbread is delicious! It's the perfect side dish for any meal. I love the combination of sweet and savory flavors. The bacon and cheese add a nice crispy texture, and the cornbread is moist and fluffy.

This cornbread is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less sugar.

This cornbread was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I might have overcooked it. But the flavor was still good.
