Family Reunion Chili Cornbread Salad

Aunt Judy Struck again! LOL! She brought an amazing dish to this family reunion on July 6th, 2018 in Utah. This dish was nominated by family members to be posted on the family recipe page, so here it is!

I can't WAIT to make this! It looks and sounds scrumptious! It just sounds perfect for the next potluck or party you need to bring a dish to!

Judy's Tips: I do gently press it down after the cheese layers to settle it down in a bit since it makes the dish verry full. I made it the day before and it was still great so it can chill longer than the 2 hours.
