Spicy Corn Bread Sausage Casserole

This recipe is a great alternative to ground beef when making nachos. It’s also amazing with a cornbread topping as noted in this dish. You can omit the cheddar cheese and substitute it with Monterey Jack for an extra kick, or leave it as is. Either way is enjoyable.
