"I’ve had a challenging time with bread in the past but this recipe came out excellently. It’s so soft and is going great with the soup we made. I was out of eggs so I missed the egg wash, but it is still crusty and delicious."  Comment from House of Nash

Love homemade bread!  I look forward to trying this recipe.

"The secret to great beer-battered fish is in the batter: It needs to be light, crispy, and slightly airy, and cold. We achieved that perfection with this recipe."  Comment from Southern Living 

It has been years since I've had beer battered fish and I love it.  We used to go to the Arthur Treachers Restaurant all the time and then they closed.  Since then there isn't anywhere that I know of to get it.  I look forward to making my own.

"Any diehard chili fan will love this casserole. Instead of heating up chili and baking cornbread separately, cook them all at once for a complete dinner. It just takes a few ingredients and a few minutes to whip up."  Comment from Simply Recipes

WOW I have to try this recipe.  I love chili and I love cornbread, they go together so well.  Looks delicious!

Creamy Corn Casserole


Photo source:  All Recipes


ORIGINALLY POSTED 6/25/2016



A corn lover's dream casserole!

This recipe has been listed on All Recipe's website for quite some time and has over 2000 reviews.  Most of the reviews are raves about the casserole and many are now including it in their Thanksgiving Meal . . . that is special!

I would not change a thing until I make it the first time.



UPDATE

While the casserole was baking, it made the house smell better than bread baking!

The casserole itself was delicious and we will make it again and again.  Not that it was too plain, but to enhance the flavor, both The Captain and I agreed some pepperjack or cheddar cheese would be awesome . . . some diced peppers would also be great.
