These delicious, cheesy little corn muffins are loaded with kicks of bacon, jalapeno, and onion. Really good with chili or finger food for a game day party snack board.

"Gourmet Hush Puppies" if you don't have muff-tin. Tips: soak cornmeal in the milk for 10 or 15 min. you may want less sugar after combine all ingredients listed add enough flour (about 1/2 cup) just a little at a time until you can roll dough in small little "footballs". Fry in hot oil just like any other hush puppy. Goooood! Read More
