Sausage Cornbread (6 servings) 1 package sweet yellow cornbread mix plus needed ingredients to prepare mix 2 cups smoked link sausage - diced 2 cups sharp Cheddar cheese Despite a few good reviews below, I can't really recommend this recipe. There's a mystery in the ingredients as to the size of cornbread mix package and the size of the baking dish is never specified. I used a 9-ounce package of mix and baked it in an 8-inch round pan. The original instructions said to bake for 15 minutes. My baking time was nearly 45 minutes. I had to cover the dish with foil after 30 minutes to prevent over-browning. The resulting cornbread was extremely crumbly. But it did have very good flavor. Because the bad outweighed the good, I give this recipe a C-.

How To Make Sausage Cornbread Prepare cornbread per directions on package. Before baking, stir in sausage and cheese. Bake at 350 degrees F for 10 to 15 minutes, or until firm. This is a very easy way to make a package of cornbread into something special. You will need a box of cornbread mix for this one. Mr Breakfast would like to thank laurynlynch for this recipe.
