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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or prepare a campfire with a stable grate for baking.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Add the cooked sausage to the bowl along with the salt and black pepper. Gently fold the sausage into the batter until evenly distributed.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Pour the cornbread batter into the skillet, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from the oven or heat source and allow the cornbread to cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Step 9
Enjoy your Camper Sausage Cornbread warm, straight from the skillet!
