Regardless of your stance on the old pigskin (mmmm.... pigskins) you have to agree that with the start of football season fall and winter aren't too far behind. And right on their tails, like a star corner back all over a premier receiver comes comfort food. You know, the stuff that you cook when it's cold, wet and rainy outside. Well, around the Sumo-house this is the premier go-to comfort food.
The pictures are pretty simple because there really isn't much to this dish. Also, the proportions are... well... strange. I'll tell you how to make a single serving and you just ramp it up for however many ppl you're serving.

As I said, this is very filling, warming food. So why is this such comfort? Well, the corn meal will glaze up around the bacon and potatoes. It makes for something crunchy and amazing. Add either biscuits or cornmeal and, well... it's pretty close to heaven. Once the temps drop into the 30's around here Robin will have me making this weekly. Enjoy!
