For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sausage while cooking. Feel free to substitute different types of cheese, such as Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack, to customize the flavor. If you don't have buttermilk cornmeal mix, you can use regular cornmeal mix and add 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the batter. This cornbread bake is delicious served with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, or a drizzle of hot sauce.
