I would love to get your recipes
Is that ground graham crackers or saltines?
Try soup crackers. Something without too much salt. But saltines would work. Graham crackers would be brownish in color.
Can the corn be blended a bit first? I love the idea of the ingredients but would like to try making it more like a spoon bread consistency.
We didn’t try it that way so can’t say. Go for it and let us know how it turns out!
My family made the same thing when I was growing up, but instead of butter, we added 2 eggs and stirred it up instead of layering it. It makes it fluffy, and casserole like. Another optional ingredient to add with this is 1 chopped onion. It is really good. Thanks for the recipes!!
My grandmother made this so often I had it memorized before I ever cooked my first meal. I use oyster crackers, not too salty, or unsalted saltine crackers.
This is a traditional dish in my family for years. I remember my dad making it for holidays as I do now for my family. I mix it all up and add two eggs, dotting with butter on top before baking. I omit adding any salt. Seems everyone likes corn and this recipe! Thanks Mary Jane, for bringing back a favorite of families for decades.
Gotta try this.
We grew up on it! Only used creamed corn instead of kernels.
I must have made this hundreds of times ! However, we always used the eggs, oyster crackers and a can of oysters..It was my go to dish for pot luck dinners, and friends waited eagerly for their “fix”
I always add 1Tbsp of brown sugar to the mix! It kind of brings out the sweetness of the corn. It a “secret” ingredient….
This recipe sounds so wonderful! I love hearing everyone’s family variations on this recipe, it gives me some ideas to make it my own. Thank you all!
