Mom's Mexican Corn Bread

This is a recipe that my mother always made when ever it was enchilada night. Always was delicious and reminds me of home whenever I make it.

1 cup Corn Meal
1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
3/4 teaspoon Salt
1 can (12oz) Creamed Corn
2 Beaten Eggs
1/4 cup Bacon Drippings (optional if you are not a Carnivore)
1 cup Milk
1 white onion Chopped
1/2 cup Grated American Cheese (or fiesta blend or any other favorite)
1 Green Bell Pepper, Chopped
1 Red Bell Pepper, Chopped

In a bowl mix the Corn Meal, Baking Soda, and Salt. Add Creamed Corn, the beaten eggs, milk, drippings (once again optional). Mix well. Pour half the batter in a 9x13 cake pan or glass pan. Put the chopped onion, peppers, and cheese. Pour rest of batter on top of this concoction. Bake at 350 for 45-50 minutes.

Like I said the bacon drippings are an option, last time I made it, I made it with out the drippings for Jess, and it was just as good.
