My mother-in-law passed down this black-eyed peas and cornbread recipe to my wife. The first time she made it, I was completely surprised. I had never heard of it, and I’ve been unable to find anything else quite like it. You can fix this as a side dish to a meal, or make it into muffins for snacks. Either way, you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
Ingredients
- cooking spray
- 1 pound bulk spicy breakfast sausage
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 cup white cornmeal
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup buttermilk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 (15 ounce) can black-eyed peas, drained
- 1 (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese
- ¾ cup cream-style corn
- 1 (4.5 ounce) can chopped green chile peppers
- ¼ cup chopped pickled jalape?o peppers
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Step 2
Cook sausage and onion in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring until sausage is crumbly and no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
Step 3
Mix cornmeal, flour, salt, and baking soda together in a large bowl.
Step 4
Whisk buttermilk, oil, and eggs together in a small bowl. Add to cornmeal mixture, stirring just until moistened. Stir in sausage mixture, black-eyed peas, Cheddar cheese, corn, chile peppers, and jalape?os. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, about 1 hour.
