Instructions

Coarsely crumble cornbread onto large cookie sheet. Bake 20 minutes or until slightly dry. Remove cornbread from cookie sheet to large bowl; set aside.

Step 4
In 12-inch skillet, melt 1/4 cup butter over medium-high heat. Add onions, bell peppers, chiles, sage and oregano. Cook about 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until vegetables are softened. Add vegetable mixture to cornbread crumbs in bowl. Stir in thawed corn, corn chips and cilantro.

Step 5
In medium bowl, beat 3 eggs, the sugar, salt and pepper. Stir in cream corn. Add to vegetable-cornbread mixture; stir until blended. Spoon into casserole.

Step 6
Cover with foil; bake 30 minutes. Uncover; bake 20 minutes longer or until thoroughly heated and top is golden brown.
