(In this instructable, I have doubled the recipe - have lots of little kids coming over for Easter)

Step 1: Ingredients

1 small  Onion, diced
1/3 cup  each diced Sweet Red and Green Pepper
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornmeal
1 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp  baking soda
1/2 tsp salt (or bacon salt)
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1 cup  shredded Cheddar Cheese
1/2 cup  diced cooked bacon (4 slices)
1 Egg
1-1/4 cups milk

Step 2: Nuke 'Em

In a microwaveable bowl, combine the onion, red and green peppers and oil. Cover and cook in the microwave on High for  about 1 to 1-1/2 minutes to soften the mixture. Put to the side for later.

Step 3: Mix the Dry Ingrdients

In large bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pepper and thyme. Stir in cheese and bacon.

Step 4: Cook That Bacon

Cook some bacon.

Step 5: Alomost Done.

In another bowl, lightly beat egg; stir in milk.

Next, add milk mixture and vegetable mixture to dry mixture and stir until moistened.

Step 6: Bake, You Can Smell the Bacon.....

Spoon batter into greased muffin cups. Bake in 375°F oven for 15 to 18 minutes 

Let cool in pan on rack 5 minutes

Take muffins out to cool.

Step 7: Enjoy.

You could freeze these to keep for a breakfast on the go. I find these are best just after backing with a little melted butter.
