Cheesy Chorizo Cornbread takes a Southern classic and amps up the flavor factor. The addition of spicy beef chorizo sausage, gooey cheddar cheese, and caramelized onions makes this cornbread unforgettable.*You don't have to layer the ingredients. You can mixture the cornbread with the meat and onions and bake.
In a 10 inch skillet, cook chorizo until done, about 8 minutes on medium heat. Remove to a tray and drain.
Cook onion in the same pan 5 to 6 minutes on medium heat or until translucent and soft. Remove and drain.
Meanwhile, mix corn meal, buttermilk, corn and eggs. Stir until smooth.
Add vegetable oil to skillet (if needed, you may have enough fat in skillet from the chorizo)
*Pour half the cornbread mixture into skillet, top with the cooked chorizo, onions and cheese. Spoon the remaining half cornbread batter onto chorizo, onions and cheese and spread gently.
