FIREHOUSE CHILI AND CORNBREAD CASSEROLE
Everyone knows that firefighters make the best chili--many using a recipe very similar to this--and the only way I know how to make that chili even better is by topping it with a cheesy cornbread crust. The cornbread crust is relatively sweet, which of course pairs perfectly with that spicy, meaty, savory chili.

- 2. Mix together mayo, sour cream & ranch dressing.Put in refrigerator to chill. Or make the night before.

Mix together all the beans and corn and spread evenly over the cornbread. Spread the Ranch dressing mix over the corn and beans. (This is made easier if you put it into a quart size Ziploc bag, cut a little hole in one corner and squeeze it out.) Layer the remaining ingredients in the order given...tomatoes, green pepper, green onions, bacon, then cheese. Chill several hours or overnight!
Tips:
- Use fresh or frozen corn kernels for the best flavor and texture.
