• Recipe: Creamy Corn Pudding

  This is a guest post from Feast on the Cheap.

  
  

  This recipe is an oldie but a goodie. I pulled it out of the archives this past Thanksgiving and it was a tremendous hit. I don’t know why I had forgotten such a delightful side dish, as it is soft and creamy with just a whisper of sweetness.  The pudding is sort of a “cheaters” soufflé – all of the taste and elegant presentation, but it will never fall! It complements both meat and poultry.

  Note: You will need a 2-quart, round soufflé dish.
  
  This dish can be prepared up to 2 days before. Cover with plastic wrap after fully it is cooled and then refrigerate. Return the pudding to room temp (about 2 hours on the counter top). Remove the plastic wrap and reheat, covered with foil, at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes until hot. 
  

  Ingredients:
  1 stick sweet butter, melted and cooled – stock
  4 large eggs, lightly beaten – stock
  2 – 14.75 oz. cans creamed-style corn – $2.38
  1- 8.25 oz. can creamed-style corn – $0.69
  1 1/3 cups evaporated milk – $0.67
  7 Tablespoons flour – stock
  1½ tablespoons sugar – stock
  ¾ Tablespoon salt – stock
  1/8 Teaspoon Cayenne – stock
  Grand Total Assuming Well-Stocked Pantry: $3.74
  Total Per Serving: $0.31
  
  Directions:
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

  2. Butter or spray with “Pam” a 2-quart soufflé dish or deep-dish casserole.

  3. Combine all of the ingredients, mixing well. Pour into the prepared soufflé dish.

  4. Fill a rectangular brownie pan with hot water, about 1 ½ to 2 inches up the sides. Place the prepared casserole in the “bath” and bake for 1 ½ to 2 hours until the top is golden and the pudding is firm.
