1 (7.5 ounce) package corn bread/muffin mix
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies, undrained
⅛ teaspoon ground cumin
⅛ teaspoon dried oregano
1 pinch rubbed sage
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream
1 (1 ounce) package dry Ranch-style dressing mix
10 slices bacon
2 (15.5 ounce) cans pinto beans, drained and rinsed
1 (10 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
3 medium tomatoes, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Prepare the cornbread mix according to package directions, stirring green chilies, cumin, oregano and sage into the finished batter. Spread into a greased 8 inch square pan.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the top springs back when lightly pressed. Set aside to cool completely.

  • Crumble half of the cornbread into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Pour half of the beans over the crumbled bread, half of the mayonnaise mixture, half of the corn, tomatoes, peppers, green onion, bacon and cheese. Repeat the layers ending with cheese on top.

ALWAYS REQUESTED CORNBREAD SALAD



Always Requested Cornbread Salad image

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (9x13-inch) pan cooked cornbread, crumbled
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
2 cups sliced celery
1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 (5-ounce) jar green olives and pimentos, drained, rinsed, and chopped
3/4 cup chopped green onions
3/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted
2 large tomatoes, chopped
1 teaspoon sage
pepper to taste
10 slices bacon, fried crisp and crumbled
1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and chopped

Steps:

  • In bowl, combine all ingredients. Refrigerate 3-4 hours before serving. Fun Fact: A tomato is technically a fruit because it is a ripened ovary of a plant. But for trade purposes, a tomato is considered a vegetable. The identity crisis stems from an 1893 Supreme Court ruling that classified the tomato as a vegetable so it could be taxed under tariff law.

LAYERED CORNBREAD SALAD



Layered Cornbread Salad image

This beautiful, delicious salad can be made the day before, is a little different, and serves 25+ people. Don't let the long list of ingredients scare you. This is VERY easy. But, do NOT leave out the cornbread. It's my favorite dish to take to potluck or covered dish suppers - and there is never any left! For vegetarians, omit the real bacon bits. Vary the ingredients to suit your taste and ingredients on-hand.

  • If making your own salad dressing: mix all ingredients in bowl and set aside.
  • Assemble salad as follows, forming pretty layers in order listed:.
  • Place 1/2 of cornbread crumbles in bottom of very large serving bowl.
  • Top with pinto beans, tomatoes (1/2 of these), corn, red and green bell peppers (1/2 of these), chilies, and cheese.
  • Repeat layers as follows: Romaine lettuce, cornbread crumbles, spring onions, green peas (uncooked), cranberry beans, and remaining red and green bell peppers.

  • Sprinkle remaining cheese on top.

  • Play with the layers and substitute for anything you don't like-- just be sure to keep the cornbread layers and salad dressing on top.
  • NOTE: If you add a lot of Optional ingredients, use more salad dressing accordingly, so you have enough to lightly coat salad when it is tossed as people spoon to the bottom to get a serving.
  • Vegetarian Note: Jiffy corn bread is NOT Vegetarian due to animal shortening as a primary ingredient. Use another brand that is.
