Sausage and cheese cornbread
This recipe was an adaptation from cheese and cornmeal muffins, http://myfavouritepastime.com/2013/03/14/cheese-and-cornmeal-muffins/
Basically with the addition of breakfast sized sausage link, cut , and American cheese. Instead of muffins the cast iron fry pan was used as a baking pan. I don’t bake a cornmeal muffin, bread recipe often. I like the taste of cornbread but the fact that it dries out almost within hours and is very crumbly doesn’t appeal to me. So I thought that a sausage addition was needed. Besides it would be a more complete bread for sausage and bacon lovers.
So here we go….
Sift together the dry ingredients . 1 and 1/2 cups white flour, 1 cup corn meal, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 4 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 cup sugar.

cut the sausage links ( i believe 4 links as I am blogging this after the fact) into bite size pieces, or remove them from the casings, a bite size piece of sausage would be better than just ground sausage for this recipe, in any case ,fry them to brown.
it’s difficult to fry anything without some onion, just a slice of onion diced.

Mix together 2 eggs, 1/4 cup oil , 1 cup creamed corn, 1/3 cup grated cheese (all that I had available was American cheese slices , diced, at the time) and 3/4 cup milk, the chives were omitted, add to the dry sifted ingredients
add the sausage mixture to the liquids.

mix easy, this is one of those recipes that you don’t need to beat for minutes, just combine with a wooden spoon.

gently ease the mixture into a skillet, if you hold back some of the grease from the sausage and with a paper towel , coat the pan, that will serve as the non stick coating on the pan.

into the oven about 400 degrees , bake till golden and a tester comes out clean.


let cool, either serve from the pan or flip and flop it out, slice and serve. Don’t forget to butter the top !
leave the bread on the table and let pass-er-by-ers
grab a piece, good for all day snacking.
pass this along my friend....
