Instructions
- Make the cornbread: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray the bottom and sides of an 8x8-inch pan with cooking spray.
- Combine the cornbread mix and water in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Pour into the prepared pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool; crumble and set aside.
- Meanwhile, make the salad: Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
- Whisk sour cream, mayonnaise, and dressing mix together in a medium bowl.
- Crumble 1/2 of the cornbread in the bottom of a large serving dish. Evenly layer with 1 can of pinto beans, 1/2 of the tomatoes, 1/2 cup of green bell pepper, 1/2 cup of green onions, 1 can of corn, 1 cup of cheese, 1/2 of the bacon, and 1/2 of the sour cream mixture. Repeat the layers. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
