Step 1

Heat oven to 425°F.

Step 2

Brown sausage with onions and jalapenos. Remove from skillet and drain most of the fat out of the skillet.

Step 3

Place skillet in oven to preheat. I use a 12 inch cast iron skillet.

Step 4

In a bowl, mix buttermilk, corn, corn meal, eggs, oil, salt, soda and sausage mixture. Mix in half of the cheese.

Step 5

Pour into hot skillet, top with remaining cheese. Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until cornbread is golden brown and cheese is melted.

Step 6

Remove to oven and allow to cool 5 to 10 minutes before cutting to keep it from falling apart.
