Ingredients

1 (14 ounce) package Hillshire Farm® Smoked Sausage, diagonally cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 medium onion, 1/2-inch dice
1 green bell pepper, 1/2-inch dice
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (14 ounce) can black beans, drained
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 jalapeño, minced
1 (8 1/2 ounce) package dry corn muffin mix, batter prepared as directed on the box

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2 Heat a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add smoked sausage and cook until browned. Add onion, bell pepper, and garlic and cook until vegetables are soft, about 6 minutes.
3 Season with chili powder, cumin, and salt. Add in tomatoes with their juice and beans. Cook until mixture starts to bubble, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn off heat and stir in cheese.
