A delightful twist on classic cornbread, featuring savory kielbasa and sharp cheddar cheese, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Ensure the oven is fully preheated to achieve even baking.
Grease a baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Use a non-stick spray for easy cleanup.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cornbread mix, cheddar cheese, and green onion.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the batter.
Add the egg and milk to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Fold in the sliced kielbasa into the batter.
Ensure the kielbasa is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
Tap the dish gently to remove air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Check the cornbread a few minutes before the timer ends to avoid overbaking.
Let the cornbread cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
