CORNBREAD MUFFIN SAUSAGE BITES

My son loves mini cornbread muffins (made with the sweet yellow cornbread muffin mix with sliced hot dogs in them.) So I figured, why not a grown up version with jalapeño sausage and Mexican cornbread? They turned out AMAZING. I ate about 5 all by myself. And surprisingly, these were not all that spicy.dipping cornbread muffin sausage bites into honey mustard

TIPS FOR MAKING THESE EASY CORNBREAD SAUSAGE BITES:

  • Instead of ketchup & mustard as the dips, you could use BBQ sauce and honey mustard.
  • Use any precooked sausage you enjoy. Cooked bratwurst or just regular ole hot dogs can work in this.
  • Also, you could certainly kick the spice up by using a Pepper Jack cheese instead of sharp cheddar.
  • You can use two packets of the cornbread mix (just double the milk and egg amounts).
  • For this recipe, you’ll only use about 3 sausages from this pack. If you double the recipe, the one pack of sausages will be enough for the doubled recipe.

    My husband and I both enjoy corn bread or muffins with our chili. We break it up and put it on top of the chili and maybe mush it up a bit more. I would really like to win some mixes. Thanks.
