Cornbread with Black-Eyed Peas and Sausage is rich, lightly spicy, and wonderfully hearty, pairing tender crumb with bursts of creamy peas, sweet corn, and melted Cheddar. Pickled jalapeños and green chiles add a gentle kick that balances the savory sausage. Serve it warm for casual dinners, game-day spreads, or as a satisfying side at potlucks.

Cornbread with Black-Eyed Peas and Sausage
  1. 1

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

  2. 2

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

  3. 3

    Combine the cornmeal, flour, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl.

  4. 4

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

  5. 5

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