Recipe View Let the Cowboy Pie cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, if desired.

For a vegetarian version, substitute the smoked sausage with crumbled vegetarian sausage or an equivalent amount of chopped vegetables like zucchini and mushrooms.
If you don't have an oven-safe skillet, you can transfer the sausage and vegetable mixture to a greased baking dish before topping with the cornbread batter.
Feel free to adjust the amount of chili powder and jalapeño to suit your preferred level of spiciness.
For a richer flavor, try using a blend of cheeses, such as cheddar and pepper jack, instead of just Monterey Jack.
