The sweet cornbread topping of this sweet and feisty "pie" brings to mind just one word: delicious, delicious, delicious. (One word repeated three times is still one word!) Corn, peppers, and sausage and tomatoes are topped with batter and baked to a soft, sweet, delight. Dessert pies stand down; we've got the savory sweet pie champion here.
