A co-worker brought this wonderful dish to a potluck several years ago. She had copies of the recipe next to the pan. Now I make it for get-togethers and also supply copies of the recipe. I never have any leftover salad or recipes. -Kelly Newsom, Jenks, Oklahoma

This recipe came from Taste of Home. It makes a large dish, great for potlucks. I have never taken it anywhere that someone didn't ask for the recipe and the dish is usually empty when I leave. I usually take several copies of the recipes to share. You can make this a day ahead.

Tips:

  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different chili recipes. There are many different ways to make chili, so feel free to use your favorite recipe or try something new. You can also adjust the heat level of the chili to your liking.
  • Make sure the cornbread is cooked thoroughly. The cornbread should be cooked all the way through before you add it to the salad. Otherwise, it will be too soft and mushy.
  • Use a variety of toppings for the salad. Chili cornbread salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables, so feel free to add whatever you have on hand. Some good options include tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, peppers, and cheese.
  • Serve the salad immediately. Chili cornbread salad is best served immediately after it's made. The cornbread will start to get soggy if it sits for too long.
