Directions: |
Directions:Spread half corn bread in bottom of a VERY large serving dish (I use a plastic cake dome to mix, then box for individual meals). Top w/half of canned veggies & fresh veggies. Spread rest of corn bread on top, add cheese, picante sauce, & about ½ the dressing (don’t get too wet). I mix this together…adding more dressing until just damp throughout. Cover, & chill at least 2 hrs before serving. Options: chicken breasts, grilled & chopped; Serve as a dip w/large corn chips; sharp cheddar cheese; Try other cheeses - smoked Gouda or crumbled blue are delicious subs! Spice it up w/roasted chipotle or jalapeño peppers. Use canned tomatoes w/jalapeños, onion & green pepper...definitely less dry. Omit tomatoes, peppers, & onions & added 1 can of Rotel (drained). Italian twist - add marinated artichoke, fresh basil leaves, pine nuts & substitute salami & Romano. |

Notes: I'm not a cornbread lover...but this is yummy! Beware of moisture content in old cornbread, and reduce dressing significantly if not stone dry.
