Recipe of the Week: Cornbread Salad, by L.H.



　

This somewhat weird-sounding salad is fabulous. It makes too much for any but a very large family to finish; you may want to reserve it for covered-dish dinners and potlucks. Also, when you take it to your occasion, tuck a couple of copies of the recipe in your pocket or purse, because you WILL be asked for the recipe.


Ingredients:
　
2 boxes (8.5 oz.) Jiffy brand corn muffin mix (or any cornbread recipe that makes an 9×13 cake-pan full)
2 cans (14.5 oz. ea.) pinto beans, rinsed and drained
2 cans (14.5 oz. ea.) whole kernel corn, drained
1 large green bell pepper, diced
2 large tomatoes, diced (or 1 can 14.5 oz. diced tomatoes, drained)
1 small red onion, diced
2 c. (8 oz.) shredded cheddar cheese
16 oz. favorite ranch dressing

Directions:

Ahead of time prepare and bake cornbread according to directions and cool.
Cut one 3×3" slice out and set aside.
In glass 9×13" casserole/cake dish place half the remaining cornbread, crumbled into medium-ish chunks.
Sprinkle over with 1 can of beans, 1 can of corn, ½ the bell pepper, ½ the tomatoes, ½ the onion, and ½ the cheese. (At this point you may want to give everything a good press-down with your clean hand, to allow it all to fit.)
Drizzle ½ the ranch dressing over all.
Repeat layers.
Crumble reserved piece of cornbread to fine crumbs and sprinkle over top of salad.
Chill at least 1 hour.
Makes 8-12 servings.
