"I cannot remember where this came from, but it has always been a favorite. A little difficult and it makes a large amount. But that makes it perfect for pot-lucks or family gatherings. It is a meal all by its self. Very much worth the time."

• 1 can ro-tel tomatoes and green chilies, chopped but not drained
• 1 lb of good quality breakfast sausage

directions

1. Pre heat oven to 375.
2. Mix cornbread according to package directions in a LARGE BOWL and set aside.

4. I have used a roasting pan instead of 2 9X13's you be the judge.
5. Now brown crumbled sausage in a large skillet.
6. Drain fat.
7. Add velveeta, ro-tel tomatoes and pinto beans.
8. Stir often until all of the cheese is melted.
9. Add hot cheese mixture to cornbread batter.

11. That is why you need a LARGE bowl.
12. Mix gently but thoroughly.
13. Pour into prepared pans and bake @ 375 degrees for about 35 minutes until it is well browned.

This is a keeper!! It is an easy recipe to "tweek". I added a small can of drained, sliced black olives to the sausage/tomato/cheese/bean mixture. After baking, top each serving with sour cream and sliced green onion. A simple addition which helps the presentation.
