Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 1 (8.5 ounce) package corn muffin mix (such as Jiffy®)

  • 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chile peppers, drained

  • ⅓ cup milk

  • 1 large egg

  • 2 (16 ounce) cans pinto beans, drained

  • 1 (16 ounce) bottle Ranch-style salad dressing

  • 1 medium green bell pepper, chopped

  • 2 (15.25 ounce) cans whole kernel corn, drained

  • 2 medium tomatoes, chopped

  • 1 (3 ounce) can bacon bits

  • 1 (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese

  • 1 green onion, thinly sliced

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 6 muffin cups.

  2. Mix corn muffin mix, chile peppers, milk, and egg together until combined but still slightly lumpy. Fill the prepared muffin cups 2/3 full.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Let muffins cool for 15 minutes, then crumble into a bowl.

  4. Using 1/2 of each ingredient, make layers in a large glass bowl in the following order: muffin crumbs, pinto beans, salad dressing, bell pepper, corn, tomatoes, bacon bits, Cheddar cheese, and green onion. Repeat layers once more.

  5. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours.
