Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
- 16 ounces cornbread mix
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup canned corn (drained)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Heat a cast-iron skillet or oven-safe pan over medium heat and add the ground breakfast sausage. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and fully cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside, leaving about 1 tablespoon of rendered fat in the pan.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or prepare a campfire with a stable grate for baking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornbread mix, eggs, milk, shredded cheddar cheese, and drained corn. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Add the cooked sausage to the bowl along with the salt and black pepper. Gently fold the sausage into the batter until evenly distributed.
Melt the butter in the cast-iron skillet over medium heat, ensuring the bottom and sides of the skillet are coated. Once melted, remove the skillet from heat.
Pour the cornbread batter into the skillet, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Place the skillet in the preheated oven (or over indirect heat if using a campfire with a lid) and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the skillet from the oven or heat source and allow the cornbread to cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your Camper Sausage Cornbread warm, straight from the skillet!
