leftover cornbread casserole

 I seem to often have a lot of leftover sourdough cornbread, which I freeze.  So in interests of emptying the freezer, I decided to make something with it.  Got a few ideas from online, but I wanted it more about vegetables and less about eggs/breakfast.  I"ll edit depending on how it turns out. 

Ingredients:

  • about 4 cups of cornbread, preferably day old and dried up, cut into about 1" cubes/crumbled
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1/2# hot Italian sausage
  • peppers (i used jalapeno peppers and a can of green chiles)  
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cup milk
  • salt & pepper
  • garlic powder
  • vegetables (I used green beans today but other things would be good)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese 

Heat oven to 375 degrees.  If cornbread isn't dried up, but it in the oven for about 10 minutes to try to dry it more.  

Heat skillet and saute onions and sausage until done.  Add vegetables including peppers and stir up.   

Whisk together eggs, milk, and spices.  Set aside.  Shred cheese, set aside.

Put half the cornbread in bottom of pan (I used a 9x13, just in case a smaller pan would be too small).  Put half the sausage/vegetable mix on top, then half the cheese.  Repeat cornbread and sausage layers, then pour egg mixture over the top, and then the cheese.  Bake about 35 minutes.
