I made this for a quick dinner tonight along with some scrambled eggs. As I was in a rush I didn't pre cook the veggies but just added them raw and they baked in nicely. Used whole wheat flour in the batter and it all turned out lovely. It's really very tasty and I will be making it again.

This was quick and easy to make, smelled great as it was baking and came out of the oven so pretty looking. We really enjoyed this flavourful cornbread. I loved the textures in it. I used orange peppers and hot & spicy Italian sausage. I've frozen the leftovers to use this weekend to stuff my chicken. Yum, I can't wait. Thanks so much for sharing Lainey.

Great to use up leftovers. I used just ham (2 cups) but I wish I had sausage as I know this would have enhanced the flavor even more. :) I also didn't use green peppers due to family tastes. Thanks for the recipe, Lainey6605!
