Recipe type: Holidays

Ingredients

• 1 (16-ounce) package ground pork sausage
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 2 jalapeños, chopped - We used only one whole jalapeno and it was plenty spicy for us.
• Basic cornbread, crumbled - Because we know nothing about making cornbread, we used Jif cornbread mix, you can get it for $0.40-$0.50 a box.
• 1½ cups coarsely chopped pecans
• ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1¾ cups chicken broth
• ¼ cup milk
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ to ½ teaspoon pepper
• ½ teaspoon dried thyme
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions

1. Cook sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring until it crumbles and is no longer pink. Remove sausage, reserving 1 tablespoon drippings in skillet. Drain sausage on paper towels.
2. Sauté onion and jalapeño in hot drippings over medium-high heat until tender. Remove vegetables with a slotted spoon.
3. Combine sausage, vegetables, cornbread, and remaining ingredients in a large bowl, stirring gently until moistened. Spoon into a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch baking dish.
4. Bake, covered, at 350° for 30 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
5. Enjoy!
