Recipe: Sausage Cornbread Pie

This is a good, hearty meal that doesn’t take too long to make! If you want to kick up the heat a little bit you can add a can of green chilis or diced jalepenose or some red pepper. Put a cookie sheet or foil under the pan since it can get a little messy with the juice bubbling over!
