Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a large bowl, combine cornmeal mix, salad oil, and sugar.

Add sweet milk and eggs, mix well.

Stir in cream-style corn, shredded Cheddar cheese, chopped jalapeno pepper, pimento, chopped onion, and chopped garlic clove.

Fold in crumbled cooked bacon or bacon bits.

Pour the batter into a greased black iron skillet.

Bake for about 1 hour, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Let cool slightly before serving.
