Really good. Made this for dinner using a 9 inch pie plate and it was the perfect size for the amount of cornbread mix (I used a box of jiffy cornbread mix for the cornmeal and added ~1/4 cup skim milk). Used hot sausage for a kick, and low-fat sharp cheddar. Next time I will try turkey sausage for less fat.

This was really good, only it needed some adjustments and it would be nice if the original author would clarify some stuff in the recipe. First off, I tried it AS written, 1 1/2 cups of cornmeal + 2 1/4 tsp baking powder + 1 tsp salt, plus the wet ingredients. I ended up using a full 14oz can of corn and I still didn't have enough batter. I added a 1/2 cup of milk and another 1/2 cup of corn meal and 1/2 tsp of baking powder and that gave me enough batter for the recipe. I also sauteed the onion and bell pepper with the sausage and mixed a drained can of chopped chilis into the batter. In the end it turned out REALLY yummy, but it needed the extra batter ingredients. It would be nice to know if the self rising corn meal needs to be prepared as per the box directions or not, as I used this recipe b/c I was out of the Jiffy stuff and only had regular cornmeal.

Very good! I was worried because I didn't have self-rising cornmeal, but it turned out fine with regular cornbread. I also added chopped jalapeno.

I read the reviews and made more cornbread mix up-enough for a 9 x 12 pan. Also added a can of green chiles-chopped,a large cream corn,and Louisiana hot sauce to taste in the cornbread batter. This is excellent!

Okay I totally changed this recipe, but it turned out excellent. I am going to republish my "new" version. I used Bisquick instead of Corn Bread mix, I added hot pepper sauce to the batter. I used a shredded Taco cheese mixture of Cheddar, pepperjack, and Asadero Cheeses in the store bought package. And served it with warm pizza sauce for dipping. It was fantastic. Glad I tried it that way and hope you all do the same!!

Yummy! I think the problem some of you are having is that I think she means that you should use 1 and a half cups of the dry cornbread mix, and make it up according to the box? Personally I used 1c cornmeal (not instant), 1c buttermilk, 1/2c flour, 2tsp baking powder, 1/2tsp baking sodea, 2 eggs, and 1/4c vegetable oil. This made enough to fill a 8x8 pan and serve about 6 people. Cornbread could have used more vegetables. Probably a large can of corn and maybe 2 bell pepers and a chili pepper would kick it up. But that's just my preference - good like it is!

Flavors were good, but the cornbread part needs some work. I didn't have self-rising cornmeal, so I substituted 1 1/4 cups of cornmeal, 1/4 cup of flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder and 1 teaspoon of salt. The batter was both stiff and skimpy. If I try this again, I'll use 1 1/2 cups of cornmeal and 1/2 cup of flour, and add a spash or two of milk to make it more spreadable.

There was no way the batter could be spread into a 9x13 pan, and in two layers too. There was barely enough for an 8x8 pan. Did I miss something here? It was also dry and tasteless. Sorry, but won't make again.
