Ingredients
- 1 pound pork sausage I like hot
- 2 cups cheddar cheese grated
- 1 cup white onion diced
- ⅓ cup jalapeno pepper fresh, minced
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup corn cream style
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 3 eggs beaten
- 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil

Instructions
- Heat oven to 425°F.
- Brown sausage with onions and jalapenos. Remove from skillet and drain most of the fat out of the skillet.

- In a bowl, mix buttermilk, corn, corn meal, eggs, oil, salt, soda and sausage mixture. Mix in half of the cheese.

- Remove to oven and allow to cool 5 to 10 minutes before cutting to keep it from falling apart.
Before I scrolled down and read what you sometimes call this, I thought, “I could make this into supper.”
Looks so good! I’m going to HAVE to put this one my menu soon. Visiting from Freedom Fridays.
I totally wouldn’t know what to do without my skillets. I think I have 9 🙂 They are the first thing I reach for every time.
Oh Paula, my husband would LOVE this! Sausage, cheese, and jalapeños – I think he might want to eat at your house from now on! Coming over from the whimsy wed link party.
hehe, my hubs feels the same way 🙂
Paula, I think I drooled a little as I scrolled down the page! I love cornbread and love adding things to it, but have never made anything as yummy as this that could be a meal itself. Love it!
Thanks, Caroline. I made a salad and that’s wall we had. I love this stuff!
Looks so good! I love the jalapeno addition!
Thank you!
I have to make this for my hubby, it looks amazing Paula!
Thanks Emily. My husband loved it.
This yankee loves cornbread. I like the combination of flavors. I also like the dish you served it in. Neat presentation.
Thank you Peter. I love cornbread too. When I was young, we’d put butter on it and it woud be dessert.
Yum!! This looks so amazing and great for an easy weeknight meal. Question: what size is your cast iron skillet? I assume it would be a 10 or 12 inch to hold all that deliciousness but just wanted to double check. Thanks!!
ohhh, I thought I put the size in there, Yes, it’s a 12 inch skillet. Going to add that in the recipe now. That’s for alerting me to that, Meme.
Some amazing recipes here. Everything looks so yummy!
Thank you, Lynn!
This looks incredible Paula! I love buttermilk cornbread but topping it with all this cheesy jalapeno awesomeness makes this even more irresistible 🙂 Pinning and thanks for sharing 🙂
