I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my cornbread didn't rise very much. It was still tasty, though.

I used half the amount of bacon that the recipe called for and it was still plenty flavorful.

I followed the recipe exactly and my cornbread turned out dry and crumbly. Not sure what went wrong.

I've made this cornbread several times now and it always turns out perfect. The bacon crust is the best part!
