Savory Loaded Pumpkin Cornbread is a great way to enjoy fall flavors alongside a bowl of chili or soup. Serve this side at holiday buffets too!

With the arrival of fall just days away (did you hear me let out a whoo-hoo?) I’m gearing up for a season filled with soups, chilis, and stews. The crisp temps always send me in the direction of a big soup pot or slow cooker full of comfort.

This brings me today’s recipe debut for #PumpkinWeek. Savory Loaded Pumpkin Cornbread is my 2nd addition to the #PumpkinWeek blogger event. Be sure to enter the giveaway HERE and check out my first recipe for #PumpkinWeek Chai Frosted Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies!

Now back to Savory Loaded Pumpkin Cornbread…if you love pumpkin and cornbread this is a terrific way to enjoy them both at the same time. Add in other amazing ingredients such as breakfast sausage and Cabot New York Extra Sharp Cheddar you know this isn’t your mama’s cornbread.

The addition of Cabot New York Extra Sharp Cheddar give the cornbread a punch of flavor, I adore this cheese. For a touch of savory, I added in thyme, a touch of nutmeg and loads of cracked black pepper into the mixture too.

If you haven’t tried Cabot cheese products..run don’t walk! The quality is undeniable and the flavor selection is superb, I bet you’ll find at least one or two new favorites.

Some tips for making Savory Loaded Pumpkin Cornbread:

• I used a boxed cornbread mix, it lessened the prep time.
• Use spicy sausage if you like even more flavor.
• Refrigerate leftovers.
