     1/2      teaspoon  salt
     1/2           cup  coarse cornmeal
  1             medium  onion -- finely chopped
  1 1/2           cups  mozzarella and Montery Jack combined
                        cheeses -- shredded
  4             slices  bacon -- cooked crisp and
                        crumbled or chopped
     1/4         ounce  taco seasoning mix
  1                     egg -- beaten with
            tablespoon  cream
                        cracker crumbs

Preparation:

Using double boiler or two pots, one of which can fit into the other, heat water about 1 1/2 inches deep in the bottom half. Put 2 cups and salt in upper half of double boiler and bring to a boil on direct heat. Stir in the cornmeal slowly into the salted water. Cook several minutes over the direct heat, stirring constantly. Add the onion, 1/4 packet of taco seasoning mix, stir in well and put smaller pot into larger pot with boiling water. Cover and cook 40 minutes. Set Oven to 350 degrees. Add the bacon and continue cooking another 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the cheese. Pour the hot mush into a loaf pan and cool for several hours or until well set. Cut into 8 equal slices. Beat together egg and cream. Put cracker crumbs in a dish. Sprinkle black pepper on slices. Place a grid or rack onto a baking sheet, large enough to hold the 8 slices off the baking sheet. Brush slices with egg wash and press into cracker crumbs and lay carefully onto baking rack. Put into oven and bake for 30 minutes or until the edges brown a little and turn golden. Serve warm as is or with a spicy Tomato relish, or any kind of meat or mushroom gravy that you like.
