In the ongoing saga of using up the food in my pantry, I made something delicious, at least according to my hubby.
I wanted to use a can of corn I’d had for a while (we eat fresh vegetables, not canned). Most of the recipes I found online were main dishes, like casseroles or meatloaves. They just added a can of corn which did not appeal to me. I don’t like corn in my food unless it is a corn dish.
I finally found a recipe that needed ingredients I already and, as a happy bonus, also took a can of creamed-style corn. We had one can of creamed-style corn, and I thought it would never get used because I really dislike it. So hooray for the recipe I tried.
The best part was that hubby loved it. He said it was the tastiest new recipe I’d tried. I thought it was okay but didn’t plan to fix it again. Perhaps I’ll prepare it for hubby’s birthday.
Okay, enough suspense. What did I make?
The recipe is called Jiffy Corn Casserole because it uses a Jiffy cornbread mix. It’s a type of corn pudding and has a soft consistency that you eat with a spoon.
You can find the recipe here. If you like a dish with an old-fashioned flair (I think it feels colonial) and you like a rich corn taste, I recommend this. Hubby gave it five stars. I love that it used up items in my pantry.
