Ingredients

• 2 8.5 Ounces (oz) packages corn muffin mix
• 0.67 Cup heavy cream
• 2 Whole eggs
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) white sugar
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) olive oil
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) poppy seeds
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) vanilla extract
• 4 Strips bacon, minced
• 1 Whole green bell pepper, minced
• 1 Whole red onion, minced
• 0.25 Teaspoon (tsp) dried marjoram
• 1.5 Cups chicken broth

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a small square baking dish or spray it with cooking spray.
2. In a bowl, mix together the corn muffin mix, heavy cream, eggs, sugar, olive oil, vanilla extract, and poppy seeds to form a batter.
3. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and the top springs back when pressed lightly, about 15 to 20 minutes. Allow to cool completely, then cut into small squares and transfer to a large bowl.
4. Reduce the oven heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
5. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the minced bacon until browned. Add the minced green bell pepper and red onion to the skillet; cook and stir until the vegetables are tender. Remove from heat.
6. Add the cooked bacon and vegetables to the bowl with the cornbread squares. Season with dried marjoram, pour in the chicken broth, and mix well.
7. Spoon the mixture into the prepared baking dish and cover with aluminum foil.
8. Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, about 30 minutes.
