My family has loved this recipe for many years. We skip the sausage and use 1.5# of ground beef which we brown on the stovetop, then we add the cornbread mixture and bake it in the oven. We like the texture more this way.

I add one small can of drained chopped green chilies. This recipe is a yummy standby for my family's dinner.
