Southerners never ever put sugar in cornbread! Sugar's for sweets like cakes, pies, cookies. Cornbread is not in that category. If you want to be more authentic either drop "southern" in the name or drop the sugar.

This recipe was easy and delicious. The cornmeal is moist. I used leftover gruyere, smoked cheddar and regular cheddar. Never added cheese on top as it already has lots, so I just sprinkled black pepper on top and used the broiler at the end for a bit of color and crisp. I added a teaspoon of general seasoning that has salt in it and it was delicious. Hubby went for seconds, and asked me to put MORE sausage in it next time lol

I was really impressed with this recipe. I am making it for the second time tonight for Thanksgiving tomorrow.

I messed this up totally and it still came out great, so it is really more than 5 stars! After a long busy day at work, my husband started talking to me as I was mixing the batter. I assembled everything and let it bake. Half way through the baking time, I saw on the counter the milk and the oil that I had in a measuring cup. It was too late to add it, so I just cooked as normal and the end result was delicious! Not as moist as it was supposed to be obviously, but still great flavor. I will make again soon (with All the ingredients!) Thanks Seasoned Cook!
