Chili Corn Bread salad

Wow, was this stuff good!

I got the recipe from a co worker, and it's actually called a salad, but she served it with chips, like a dip.

I had never had anything quite like this, cornbread mixed in with all these awesome ingredients. Bacon, cheese, pinto beans,crisp corn, peppers and onions, so spicy with oregano and cumin, and all held together with tangy sour cream and mayo..so many wonderful flavors and textures!

It makes a huge amount....it filled a 9x13 pan...just perfect for a pot luck.

I wish  my photo would have turned out better. It was so awesome, I can't wait to make it myself!
