Black-Eyed Pea Cornbread
1 pound pork sausage
1 onion, chopped
1 cup white cornmeal
1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup vegatable oil
1 4-ounce can chopped green chilies, drained
3/4 cup cream-style corn
2 cups (8 ounces) grated cheddar cheese
1 15-ounce can black-eyed peas, drained
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 13 x 9 x 2 inch pan. Cook sausage and onion in a large skillet until sausage is browned. Drain and set aside. Combine cornmeal, flour, salt and soda in a large bowl. In another bowl, beat eggs, buttermilk and oil together.
Combine with dry ingredients using a few quick strokes - batter does not need to be blended until smooth. Add sausage and onion, chilies, corn, cheese and black-eyed peas. Pour into prepared pan and bake at 350 degrees for 50-55 minutes, or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. SERVES 8-12.
