Ingredients

• 0.5 pound Ground sausage
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 cup Cornmeal
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 1 large Egg
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch (23 cm) cast-iron skillet or baking dish with vegetable oil and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium skillet, heat butter over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and caramelized, about 6-8 minutes.

Step 3

Add the sausage to the skillet with the onions. Cook and crumble the sausage until it’s fully browned and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, beat the egg and whisk it together with the milk.

Step 6

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Gently fold in the cooked sausage, caramelized onions, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared skillet or baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

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