It's fall here in Wisconsin and the perfect time for a dish like this. I'm going to make some this weekend. Thanks!

I've been looking for a recipe for this for a long time.

I tried this but instead of using canned cream corn, I used fresh all around.

To make homemade cream corn - use heavy cream and mix with 2 parts corn that you pulse in a mixer and 1 part kernels. Also try to find the freshest sweetest corn on the cob you can find and then remove the kernels yourself.

I've done that before for other recipes. It's easier to just use corned corn, and for me, the taste tends to be very similar.

Each his own though, that's what makes cooking fun.

The taste is similar and I'll use frozen corn but I don't like all the crap and preservatives that are in canned corn

Made it today. It was really solid...but seemed to be lacking a kick. I am certain it is because I used canned corn. I am going to try it with fresh corn in season, although it is a little hearty for a summertime meal.

Thank you for a great "keeper" of a recipe!

You're welcome.

We usually serve it with some savory buns or something that helps round it out as a meal.

I agree with Parson Jack that fresh corn is better than canned or frozen, but sometimes its less available.

I made this today and it was delicious! I put in about 1 tbsp of the bacon grease and it added a good kick. I also added a couple shakes of red pepper flakes and creole seasoning. Served it with some warm french bread and everyone had 2-3 bowls grin

Thanks!
