6 links Apple, Gouda, Chicken Sausage (see note)

5 strips Thick Slice Bacon, diced

1 pkg. (15 oz.) Cornbread Mix

Dice the chicken sausage and add it to a rimmed baking sheet with the bacon.  Place in a pre-heated 400-degree oven for about 20 minutes.  Drain and set aside.  Lower oven temperature to 350-degrees.  In a large bowl, prepare cornbread according to the package directions.  Now stir in the sausage, bacon, jalapeno, creamed corn, sour cream, butter, roasted peppers and 1½ cups of the cheese.  Pour mixture into a greased 10-inch cast iron skillet or a 9x13 baking dish.  Top with remaining cheese and bake in that 350-degree oven for 50 minutes.  Remove, let cool a little and serve.
