Instructions:

Prepare Sausage Mixture:
- In a skillet, combine the bulk pork sausage, finely chopped green onions, and diced green peppers over medium heat. Cook until the sausage is browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat and set aside.
-
Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, plain cornmeal, baking soda, salt, and red pepper flakes. Stir until evenly distributed.
-
Prepare Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg and mix it with the buttermilk until well combined.
-
Combine Ingredients:
- Add the buttermilk mixture, cooked sausage mixture, and shredded cheddar cheese to the dry ingredients. Gently fold everything together until just moistened. Be careful not to overmix.
-
Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease your muffin pans or line them with paper liners.
-
Fill Muffin Pans:
- Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared muffin pans, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
-
Bake:
- Place the muffin pans in the preheated oven and bake for 28-30 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Serve:
- Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Storage Instructions:
- If you wish to freeze the muffins, wrap them individually in plastic wrap and then store them in a ziplock bag. To reheat, simply microwave the frozen muffins for 10-20 seconds, or until heated through.
