Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider using a mix of cheeses such as cheddar or pepper jack. If you want a healthier version, substitute turkey sausage for the spicy sausage. You can also swap out the Jiffy mix for a homemade cornmeal mixture. Make sure to drain the corn well to avoid a watery soufflé. If you prefer a milder dish, use sweet or regular sausage instead.
