  1. This was pretty good. I transferred everything to a loaf pan (as I couldn't put my skillet into the oven) so my cornbread to sausage ratio was a little skewed (following the instructions would even this up - the way I did it, in the loaf pan, had too little sausage & too much cornbread each bite). But that was my fault! Other than that, the flavors really went together well. I will probably make this again (with an oven-proof skillet next time)! Made for Photo Tag, 2/7/09 - NELady.
