What Can I Make With Corn
The Halloween candy is about gone and now it is time to focus on Thanksgiving! I love this holiday because it is so traditional. The family meets, we eat, we relax, watch football and skim the papers for the big sales for the following day.
Thanksgiving dinner is planned a week before the big day with my mother calling everyone to tell them what they are expected to prepare and bring. My dish for the last three years has been a recipe I received from a coworker.It is simple to make and is obviously delicious or she wouldn’t ask for it three years in a row!
Corn bread Casserole
1 can (12 oz) creamed corn
1 can (12 oz) sweet corn, drained
1 8.5 oz. Jiffy Corn muffin mix
1 cup sour cream
1/2 stick melted butter
1 cup cheddar cheese (optional)
Heat oven to 350. Mix all ingredients and place into a casserole dish. Bake for 40 minutes. Remove and layer with cheddar cheese. Return to oven until cheese is melted.
I double the recipe for my larger family. The double batch feeds at least 12 and more if there are various other side items to eat.

Not being a huge corn fan, I couldn’t have imagined that a casserole involving corn would sound so appealing. Thanks for the recipe.

How about some fried corn fritters. We like to eat them with a pot of chile or some homemade vegetable beef soup.
Fried Corn Fritters
Ingredients:
3 large eggs, heavily beaten
2 cups corn kernels, cooked and crushed
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/4 tablespoon melted butter
1 1/2 cup flour
Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking oil or lard
Directions:
Fill a deep skillet with oil or lard and heat until water dropped in sizzles. Mix together all other ingredients, except flour. Add enough flour to make fritters stay together. More or less than 1 1/2 cups may be needed. Drop fritters one at a time by the spoonful into hot oil. Turn to brown all sides. Drain and serve.

My favorite is the corn cake. Like the ones served as a garnish with mexican food like at Chevy’s or El Torito. Or as appetizers at the Cheesecake Factory.
