Baked Corn from Scratch

Marg (CaymanDesigns)'s Note:

I got this from my sister, who makes it for every Thanksgiving. I like it a lot better than the recipes using Bisquick or corn muffin mix. Tip: thaw the corn in a colander in the sink and you won't have to drain it afterwards!

• Prep Time: 25 mins
• Cook Time: 35 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 6

• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1/2 cup bread (optional) or 1/2 cup cracker crumb, mixed with melted butter (optional)

Directions:

1. Melt shortening and then add the flour.
2. Add milk gradually and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
3. Add corn, sugar, salt and pepper and heat thoroughly.
4. Remove from heat and add beaten eggs.
5. Pour into greased baking dish, sprinkle with buttered crumbs if desired.

This turned out very good. I have made this several times, once for our Thanksgiving dinner. This is a different way to serve corn.

Yum! This turned out really good. I used a flavored cracker (I think they were rosemary and olive oil) to put on the top and they gave it a really good flavor. I'll be using this recipe again! Thanks, Marg! Amy

I made this using butter instead of shortening, and did not do the optional crumb topping. It was a really nice basic baked corn. I want to try this again but with some add ins to spice things up. Thank you for sharing this yummy recipe!
