This hearty, warming dish is made in one pot and has a good texture contrast between the firm wild rice and the softer brown rice. It’s salty, yet with the apples and cranberries, you may expect a sneaky sweetness kick.

Reviews
While I like everything in the recipe, it seemed dry and crumbly in the end. Needs a good gravy on top perhaps
I loved this recipe. It was easy and flavorful.
Really good simple and easy. I put salsa on it and Swiss cheese and baked it for about 20 min. My family loved it!
My husband thinks I’m a genius! We both loved this recipe. I sauteed the sausage with fresh bell pepper and green onions. I gently mixed the whisked eggs and patted it down. I broiled it in the oven to cook the eggs and crisp up the top. Before serving I sprinkled about 1/4 c shredded swiss cheese and green onion tops. This is great with salsa!
This was a delicious dish. I had to serve a group of men so I use two dozen eggs, 1 pound of bacon, 1 pound of zesty breakfast sausage, two red bell peppers, One onion, One and ahalf boxes of Jiffy corn bread mix. I forgot to put milk in the eggs which I will do next time. I cook the cornbread and the meat the night before. Reheated the meat cooked the peppers and onions that morning and mix everything together.
Really good and easy to make. Be creative with it….
My husband and I made this without green pepper just a couple mini red peppers, added mixed shredded cheese to melt all on top of it. Tastes like an awesome hillbilly quiche. Topped it finally with Valentino Mexican hot sauce.
Great way to use up day old corn bread! Used ham, since had in the house and used fresh bell pepper and onion which I sautéed in olive oil. Forgot to add cheese, but served with salsa.
used ham instead of sausage and added creole seasoning, franks buffalo sauce and salsa to the mix! it was great!
Baked it with cheese after cooking in pan
First off, I had no corn bread at my disposal, which I’m sure makes the recipe very different. I took one of those Costco Torta rolls, microwaved the water out, and threw it in a food processor. No peppers either so just onions with jalapeños and spinach. I also used habenero sausage, but really any meat would work well. It was still great and a very filling breakfast, and I’m excited to try it with corn bread next time!
My goodness. I never thought cornbread could turn into such a delightful meal. This recipe is wonderful. I didn’t use the oil recommended and I did fry up fresh red peppers and onions with the sausage. I now have to make more cornbread to repeat this recipe. Very easy, delicious and a a new recipe for my rotation which my family has already requested.
Made this for my wife on a cold rainy Saturday morning.she couldn’t stop complimenting me on how good this was.We will definitely make this over and over.
Very good! I also used fresh green pepper and onion that I fried with the sausage. I was afraid after I added the eggs that it was going to be a complete mess, but turned out fine after it continued to cook for awhile.
My family gobbled it up. I didn’t add any meat as I didn’t have any on hand. I used fresh peppers and onions.
Wowza…. This is the BOMB DIGGITY!!!! Who woulda thought, cornbread in your egg skillet?? Best invention ever!
Used leftover ham instead of sausage and fresh onion and green pepper.
This was pretty good; I skipped the oil, used fresh bell pepper and some spring onions and a couple mushrooms that I needed to use up (cooked them with the sausage) and added some muenster cheese with the eggs. While the eggs are being folded in with the sausage-cornbread mixture, it is a globby mess but the ingredients parse themselves out again after the egg is cooked. I may try again with a stronger cheese.
just love this breakfast……used fresh peppers and onions, cooked them in the skillet the night before. Used homemade turkey sausage, recipe from this site, breakfast was cooked and on the table before you could say ” Lord Mayor of London! ” Fab!
Oh my goodness, this was bananas. I used fresh red peppers, onions and a mess of garlic instead of using frozen and I used Chipotle Tabasco. I served this with bacon and fruit salad. Thumbs up from all four of us. Crazy good. I loved how cheap this was to make. Really impressed. WTG, southernshoe! You impressed the socks off of me.
Fun and easy recipe! Made this with the left over cornbread from Mom’s Sweet Buttermilk Corn Bread recipe on this site. So many different things you can do with this such different veggies or meats. When the cornbread soaks up the juices from the cooking of the sausage it makes it really good.
