Ingredients

  • 4 cups crumbled cornbread (store-bought or homemade)

  • 1 cup cooked bacon, crumbled

  • 1 ½ cups cherry tomatoes, halved

  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • ½ red onion, finely chopped

  • 1 green bell pepper, diced

  • 1 cup ranch dressing (store-bought or homemade)

  • Optional: 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped

  • Optional garnish: fresh parsley or green onions

Directions

  • If needed, bake and cool cornbread in advance. Crumble into bite-sized pieces.
  • In a trifle bowl or large glass dish, layer half the cornbread, followed by half of each ingredient: bacon, tomatoes, corn, cheese, onion, and peppers.
  • Spread half the ranch dressing over the top.
  • Repeat layers with remaining ingredients and finish with dressing on top.
  • Garnish with parsley or green onions if desired.
  • Cover and chill for at least 1 hour before serving to let the flavors meld.

Notes

  • Make it vegetarian by skipping the bacon and adding black beans.
  • You can bake cornbread a day ahead — slightly stale works best!
  • Add a pinch of cayenne or jalapeños for a spicy kick.
  • Best served the same day, but leftovers hold up well for a day or two.
