Im going to have to rate this recipe a five star, because even tho I left out one main ingredient, the butter (totally by mistake while melting it in the microwave the corn bread still came out great. Im going to now redo it with the butter added to the recipe this next time. Remember, its not a sweet cornbread, but so very delish.

I'd give this 4 and a half (only because I have a sweet tooth and this isn't sweet cornbread. I changed the recipie by putting in 2-1/2 cups cornmeal and 3/4 cup granulated sugar. I also used chipotle (smoked jalapeño peppers. I soaked them for a few min in warm water to make them pliable, removed seeds, then diced them finely. After sauteing everything, I just poured batter on top and popped it in oven. If I did it again I would use two peppersinstead of four. Be careful in the oven, mine was done in 20 min. Awesome cornbread!!!

You need to mix the bacon, garlic and jalapeno's in with the batter... In the video he just puts it on top! I will try it again.. 1st attempt I failed, had to throw it away.... If you like sweet cornbread don't try this

After reading the recipe several times I just concluded the garlic,bacon and peppers were staying on the bottom of the pan. Just before putting the batter into the pan I placed it in the oven to make sure the cast iron pan was hot. It puffed up beautifully. It was delicious. My 83 yr old mom who just got out of the hospital loved the crispy and flavorful crust and the occasional hit of jalapeno and garlic. I doubt there is a way of reducing the amount of butter and fat without creating something quite dry. So eat a small piece and share. My neighbors loved it too!
Thank You Jennifer and the neighborhood (Florida/Canada

I agree with those who said this needs some sugar. I wish I had read the reviews before I made it. I have 75% of this disaster left over and plan to use it to stuff a chicken tonight.

OK, if you are north of the Mason Dixon line or west of the Mississippi, then you need to be aware that this is not your Mother's yellow, sweet-as-a-cupcake, substitute for cornbread :- But that bread also has a place in the culinary world too of course... but being from Memphis, that is just not my preference... and I live in Texas now and I can't find a single piece of decent cornbread without making it myself!... ok, that said...

I LOVED this recipe, and my whole family just LOVED it too... it isn't sweet, which we love. I use self-rising white cornmeal in my, and just bypass adding the baking powder and soda. I also up the amount of bacon I use... I used a whole 1 lb. last time and it was crazy good... but my palette leans heavily toward the carnivorous. I only use 1/2 to 1 Jalapenos too... my little brother uses more but I like to keep the heat down. I only use fresh garlic, and go just a little lighter on that also...

Other than those substitutions, this recipe ROCKS!!!!

And of course, this isn't calorie free... or for the faint of heart... bold and crazy good it is!

I must say that I was very dissapointed with this cornbread. I cooked it as directed and found it to to almost tasteless. I would have perfered it to be a little sweeter perhaps 2-3 Tbs of sugar. Would not make again. Sorry Emeril but this was a bust.

I agree with some of the other reviews. I followed the recipes directions exactly. The taste was good, but way TOO spicy! The cornbread stuck to the skillet for me as well. I am just learning to cook, so I will play the recipe a little since other than it being to spicy, it was good.

My husband loved the flavor, but it was too heavy on the butter.
