I realized something during our Thanksgiving meal today-everyone must try corn pudding. It is absolutely delicious! It's a dish that speaks to me. It's full of downhome goodness with a hint of sweetness that sends my heart soaring. I like it a lot. My serving even has its own plate. Yep, you heard me right. I reserve a small salad plate for my corn pudding. Mostly because i don't want any other food items to touch it. For me, it's not a food that meshes well with a river of gravy and green been casserole (more on this later)...no, to me eating corn pudding is like eating dessert DURING dinner. The funny thing is, the recipe Jason follows is really sketchy. And that's why this story makes me laugh! I'm seriously looking at the recipe right now and it says "1 or 2 eggs" - well which is it?? One or Two? Ha! There are also no measurements next to the words "nutmeg" "allspice" and "sugar"....who knows how much of those ingredients you add! And somehow, Jason manages to pull of a flawless tasting corn pudding year after year!
After further clarification, here's the recipe from Jason:
2 cans cream corn
2 eggs
1 box Jiffy Corn Bread Mix
Nutmeg ("I don't know - a dash?" Jason says.)
Allspice ("I don't know - I don't measure it" he replied.)
About 3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 stick of butter
Bake at 350 for 40 minutes or until top turns golden brown.
So try it! I think you'll be pleasantly surprised and you be the hit of the neighborhood.
....and as for the Green Bean Casserole. Welcome to 2007 Lynette. All these long years I never knew what I'd been missing. It's great! Why didn't anyone tell me?
Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
