    This isn't anything like cracklin' cornbread! Whew, we hurt ourselves - ate half of it at one go. Last time I made one of your recipes, he fell in love with me again - but this time he says he's in love with you!

    This looks almost like my Granny's cracklin' cornbread, except with sausage instead of bacon "cracklin's". I'll definitely have to try it.

    I made this last night and served it with pinto beans. We were in heaven. Cornbread is awesome and I will definitely make again and again. Thanks for sharing.
