How to Make Cowboy Breakfast Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine cornbread mix, milk, egg, and melted butter. Stir until just combined.
  3. Pour half of the cornbread batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  4. In a separate bowl, crumble sausage and cook until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  5. Whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
  6. Evenly distribute the cooked sausage over the cornbread layer.
  7. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage.
  8. Top with the remaining cornbread batter, spreading evenly.
  9. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with salsa and sour cream.
