YUM-O!!!! I loved this!!! Just like home for me. I did add a little garlic powder, black pepper and cajun seasoning. Instead of the milk and flour, I used a half a cup of heavy cream. Not diet friendly at all but is anything made down South ever diet food? 15 stars, Mom!!!!! -
Such a great side dish! I used fresh butter and sugar corn. I hope to make it again real soon as we all really liked it round here! Thank you for sharing this ol,d southern favorite Mom! -
I found this recipe in a cookbook I have called "Like Grandma Used To Make". Since it's already here I'll just review it. :-) I used frozen corn kernels and green peppers. Love it! Can't wait to try it again with fresh corn.

I live with my husband and 3 little girls in North Georgia. We enjoy spending time together outside as well as in the kitchen. I grew up on Southern food and my husband grew up in Miami, so we have a mosh of Southern and Hispanic foods.
