We absolutely loved this side dish. Peppers and Corn and Beans Oh My! The ranch dressing was the perfect compliment to this salad... it was very tasty! Thanks so much for posting your recipe :)

I have tried something similar to this in the past and it didn't contain bacon. I still loved it so I didn't use bacon now. Only other change I did was use all red pepper since that is what I had. I used red onion and kidney beans and only 2 tomatoes, seeded. I also used a combination Mexican cheese. This was sooo good. My kids hardly touched it and I was thrilled! It means more leftovers for me and this is one time that I'm thrilled with that. Because I didn't use bacon, I wasn't concerned about using mayo and sour cream. I will make this again and again.

I make Cornbread Salad often for church dinners and such but thought I would try a different recipe due to the large amount mine makes. This was very dry. Will go back to my own recipe.
