I made this side dish for the 4th of July last week and not a single bite was left. I've made this before, but don't make it nearly enough. No one really knew what it was and then suddenly was going back for seconds. It's a "salad" but more of a side dish that you eat with a fork, and trust me when I say it is SO freaking good. And really pretty in a trifle dish as well.
{every time I use a trifle I think of the Friends episode: theres a layer of jam, a layer of lady fingers, beef sautéed with peas and onions....}
anyways......
This is a great summer side dish, especially with burgers or brats!

2 cups cheddar cheese, grated
2 (17 oz) cans corn, drained
1 Box jiffy cornbread mix
4 oz chopped green chilis
Make the cornbread adding the green chilis, cool and crumble
In a 3 quart container ( a clear bowl or trifle works great) layer
half of the cornbread
Mix together the ranch mix, mayo and sour cream. Set aside.
Mix the tomatoes, green onion, and green pepper. Set aside.
Layer 1/2 beans, tomato mixture, bacon, cheese, corn, and dressing on

Get a big old spoon for the layers, and dig in!
I also made the healthy summer macaroni salad I posted about a bit ago.
It was great - and a nice change from the heavy pasta salads that I am used to.
