How to Make Hand Ground And Oven Roasted Cornmeal Mush

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, salt, and water until smooth. Stir in milk, if using.
  3. Pour the cornmeal mixture into a greased 12-inch cast iron skillet or oven-safe dish.
  4. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until the mush is set and golden brown on top. If using a cast iron skillet, you can place it on the stovetop for the last 5 minutes on low heat to crisp the edges.
  5. While the mush is baking, cook bacon until crispy. Set aside, reserving bacon grease.
  6. In the reserved bacon grease, fry the eggs to your liking (sunny-side up recommended).
  7. Once the mush is cooked, slice it into three thick pieces. Serve each slice topped with 1 slice of bacon and a fried egg. Enjoy!
