My mother-in-law passed down this black-eyed pea cornbread recipe to my wife. The first time she made it, I was completely surprised. I had never heard of it, and I've been unable to find anything else quite like it. You can fix this as a side dish to a meal, or make it into muffins for snacks. Either way, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Ingredients

  • cooking spray
  • 1 pound bulk spicy breakfast sausage
  • 1 onion , chopped
  • 1 cup white cornmeal
  • 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 0.5 cups vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs , lightly beaten
  • 1 can black-eyed peas , 15 ounce
  • 1 package shredded Cheddar cheese , 8 ounce
  • 0.75 cups cream-style corn
  • 1 can chopped green chile peppers , 4.5 ounce
  • 0.25 cups chopped pickled jalapeño peppers

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

  2. 2

    Cook sausage and onion in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring until sausage is crumbly and no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Mix cornmeal, flour, salt, and baking soda together in a large bowl.

  4. 4

    Whisk buttermilk, oil, and eggs together in a small bowl. Add to cornmeal mixture, stirring just until moistened. Stir in sausage mixture, black-eyed peas, Cheddar cheese, corn, chile peppers, and jalapeños. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish.

  5. 5

    Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, about 1 hour.
