Are You Ready For Some Football???

Ok, Folks!  The time has come----It's Football Time.......Everywhere!!!!!

If you are joining the hundreds of thousands of football fans across the country that are setting up their first "Tailgates" of the year, here is a dish you can take that feeds a crowd!  Make it the day before the game, and it is even better!


Cornbread Salad

1 (1 oz) package dry ranch salad dressing mix
1 cup sour cream
1 cup mayonnaise
1 (9-inch) pan Tex-Mex cornbread, crumbled (See note)
2 (16 oz.) cans pinto beans, drained
6 Roma tomatoes, diced
1/2 cup chopped green onions
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
10 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 (11 oz) can whole kernel corn, drained

Combine salad dressing mix, sour cream and mayonnaise.  Set aside.  Place half the crumbled cornbread in bottom of large serving bowl.  Top with can of pinto beans.  Combine the tomatoes and green onions, then layer half on top of the beans.  Next, layer half the cheese, bacon and corn.  Top with half the salad dressing mixture.  Repeat layers, using the rest of the ingredients.  Garnish as desired.  Cover and chill at least 2 hours.


NOTE:  Prepare favorite cornbread recipe, adding a 4 oz. can chopped green chilies, and dried sage, to taste.
