I've been searching for a spoon bread recipe- my GM used to make it years ago, & my Bro requested it. This was right on the mark. However, I found that the stirring should be done early in the bake time, maybe only once. That keeps the texture smoother & prettier. Other than that, this was a trip down memory lane for us... Thanks!
