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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and generously grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Pour the cornmeal batter into the sausage and corn mixture, folding gently until well combined.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Sprinkle the reserved 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Garnish with sliced green onions, if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy!
