From the Garden...Scalloped Corn

  Lyle had been requesting scalloped corn. This recipe, from the Taste of Home Holiday Recipes 2003 is for a basic scalloped corn. Lyle and Bettie both thought it was just like they had growing up and so were very pleased with it.

  I found it quite easy to make using frozen corn and will make it again for them.

This is scalloped corn like Grandma or Mom made. Still a good simple vegetable to feed your family and inexpensive to prepare.

Scalloped Corn

4 cups fresh or frozen corn

3 eggs, beaten

1 cup milk (I would use 1 1/4 cup next time)

1 cup (about 30) crushed saltine crackers, divided

3 tablespoons butter, melted

1 tablespoon sugar

1 tablespoon finely chopped onion

Salt and pepper to taste

  In a medium bowl combine the corn, eggs, milk, 3/4 cup crushed crackers, butter, sugar, salt and pepper and onion. Transfer to a 1 1/2 quart greased baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining crumbs and bake uncovered, at 325° for 1 hour or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
