How to Make Hambalaya Cornbread

  1. Sauté 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper and 1/2 cup chopped onion in 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup cornmeal, 2 teaspoons baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1 cup buttermilk.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in 1 1/2 cups cooked and diced ham and 1 cup cooked and crumbled sausage. Gently stir in the sautéed green pepper and onion mixture.
  6. Transfer the batter to a greased 10-inch ovenproof skillet or 9x9 inch baking pan.
  7. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy!
  9. Store leftover cornbread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
