Two ingredients make this cornbread really special.
Ive loved Tina Turner for as long as I can remember.
We loved The Best and belted the lyrics with Turner like we were her backup singers.

Which is the segue Im using to discuss Turners cornbread!
It seems as if Tina Turners cornbread is actually restaurateur Robbie Montgomerys cornbread.
But she didnt just sing; she also whipped up delicious batches of cornbread for Turner and the band.

Made with fresh kernels of corn and crispy, salty bacon, her cornbread was a favorite.
But save the bacon fat!
Youll mix some of it into the batter.

After stirring until just combined, add the crumbled bacon and one cup of fresh corn kernels.
The result tastes like one of Turners amazing songs: big, bold, and fabulous!
Ive had skillet cornbread in the past, but this recipe tops them all.
The crumb is moist, fluffy, and tender.
I would absolutely make this cornbread again and wouldnt change a single thing.
Its a delicious recipe that truly is The Best.
