Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
- 2 cups sweet corn kernels (frozen or canned, drained)
- 1 can (14.75 ounces) cream-style corn
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cup yellow cornmeal
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons green onions (sliced, optional garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and generously grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles with a spatula. Once cooked, drain excess grease and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet corn kernels, cream-style corn, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese (reserve 1/2 cup for topping), and the cooked sausage. Stir until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the melted butter and stir to form a thick batter.
Pour the cornmeal batter into the sausage and corn mixture, folding gently until well combined.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle the reserved 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Garnish with sliced green onions, if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy!
