Cornbread with Italian Hot Ground Sausage and Red Peppers
Cornbread is great on its own, but when it’s backed by Johnsonville, you know it’s truly fantastic! This dish is great for making a morning morsel into a full-on meal. Red bell peppers and cheddar cheese are used to help make this cornbread stand out, but the addition of Johnsonville All Natural Fresh Italian Hot Ground Sausage really elevates the cornbread from ordinary to extraordinary. The heat and flavor of the sausage matches well with the cheese and peppers, giving you a great start to your day.
