Sausage and Cheddar Corn Waffle Recipe

This Sausage and Cheddar Corn Waffle Recipe  is part of an Ambassador Program on behalf of Influence Central for P.A.N. Cornmeal. I received product samples as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation.

My husband and I are early risers, even on the weekend.  However, my husband is NOT the type of person to jump out of bed and immediately start eating breakfast.  He prefers to be up and moving for a few hours before actually grabbing something to eat.  That means we often find ourselves eating ‘brunch’ on the weekend rather than breakfast.  I don’t mind because that gives me plenty of time to decide what sort of creative recipe I want to try that morning! As part of the P.A.N. cornmeal Ambassadorship, I was challenged with coming up with a creative brunch recipe and decided to try a savory waffle recipe with sausage and cornmeal.  Many people automatically think ‘sweet’ when they think about waffles.  This sausage and cheddar waffle recipe is filling and makes a delicious brunch recipe if you have hungry people to feed like I do!

P.A.N. cornmeal is the number one cornmeal in South America. It has existed for many years, but is only recently making its way into kitchens in the USA. Due to its rich nutrients and versatility, cornmeal is a staple in countries all over the globe. I usually use cornmeal in homemade cornbread or corn muffins, which are incredibly popular here in the south.  If you want to try some quick and easy corn meal recipes, check out visit the P.A.N. Tumblr page. It’s a great place to start your culinary exploration!
