South of the Border Cornbread Pudding image

I've taken traditional cornbread and Mexican Corn Pudding and created a winning dish that can be served as a side dish for a brunch or a dressing for Thanksgiving. Add some sausage or other meat and it becomes a savory taste treat. Add more spice and, WOW, it'll be even better.
