Kielbasa Cornbread

Lorac's Note:

Corn bread flavored with garlic sausage, green onions and chedder cheese. Using a corn muffin mix adds a little sweetness to offset the other flavors and make this a simple, quick and easy dish.

I thoroughly enjoyed this recipe! I brought it to a cookout where everyone went WILD for it. The combination of flavors is perfect. The only drawback was it was a tad dry so next time I prepare this I think I will add perhaps a 1/4c. melted butter to the recipe. But there definitely will be a next time!

We loved this and I loved it because it was so easy to put together. Put it together in 5 min in the morning and then it just gets thrown in the oven in the eve. My default corn muffin mix is Jiffy which is only an 8.5oz package. Also per the previous comments, I added a little olive oil to prevent any dryness. The smaller corn mix didn't seem to hinder it and in fact I think I preferred that to focus the dish more on the kielbasa. It's a keeper esp for those weeknight meal plans.

Very quick and easy to make. I wonder if maybe this recipe calls for a little too much corn muffin mix or if it needs to be 12 oz of a specific brand not to turn out a touch dry. I used the 12 oz that the recipe calls for, but noticed my box called for 1 egg and 2/3 cup milk for half a box (9 1/2 oz) mix and it probably would have turned out a little moister without adding additional fat if I had listened to the box. Luckily I did pay attention to the baking time on the box which said 17-20 minutes because that's exactly what this cooked in. Good flavor though. Thanks for sharing.
