Ingredients
- 1 batch cornbread, cut into 1-inch cubes, recipe follows
- 1 (14.5-ounce) can red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 (15-ounce) can niblet corn, drained
- 1 medium Vidalia onion, finely chopped
- 1 large green bell pepper, finely chopped
- 3 large tomatoes, chopped
- 2 cups grated sharp Cheddar
- 1 (8-ounce) bottle ranch dressing
- Chopped fresh parsley leaves, for garnish
Directions
In the bottom of a large glass bowl, place cornbread cubes. Layer beans, corn, onion, bell pepper, tomatoes, and cheese on top of cornbread. Spread ranch dressing evenly over cheese. Cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Cornbread:
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil, plus 1/4 cup for greasing pan
- 1 cup self-rising cornmeal
- 3/4 cup self-rising flour
- 1 cup cream-style corn
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup grated sharp Cheddar, optional
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Generously season a cast iron skillet with up to 1/4 cup vegetable oil. Preheat the pan either in the oven or on the stove over medium-high heat.
Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl, stirring with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until combined. Pour batter into the preheated cast iron skillet. Place skillet in the oven and bake until golden brown, approximately 30 minutes. If making individual size cornbreads in smaller pans, they will require a shorter cooking time.
Yield: 8 servings

Very tasty, made this for my girlfriend's birthday brunch and everyone really raved about it, everyone also had second and third helpings, there was only a pinch left in the bowl, took to work the next day, shared with one of my co workers told me I have to make it for him for their next family gathering, said a little will just make you mad, looking forward to making this for the girls again,will add fiesta steak or chicken next time or little of both, thanks Paula, very delightful

i think this recipe is delicious!! i have to be honest i used store bought corn bread b.c i wanted to try out this recipe and didnt have time to bake corn bread. the only thing i did differently was keep out tomatoes b.c my boyfriend doesnt like them, and b.c i didnt want to lose a layer of flavor i added black beans. i did salt and pepper the layers as well. this would be awesome for a party!! i just made it for us to try. hope you all give this a try. thanks Paula!!
