Indian Corn Casserole
Laura Jinkins, Texas
One of our favorite holiday foods is Indian Corn Casserole. My mother
first introduced this recipe to our family Thanksgiving meal. It
quickly became a favorite. After I married, I made it for my husband's
family our first Thanksgiving together. My father-in-law loved it so
much that he had me write the recipe down and then he kept it in his
briefcase under lock and key!!!
Here's the recipe:
3 well-beaten eggs
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tbsp. sugar
6 oz. sharp process American cheese, shredded
2 (17 oz.) cans whole kernel corn, drained
10 slices of bacon, crisp
In a bowl, combine eggs, flour and sugar. Beat mixture thoroughly. Add
cheese and corn. Crumble bacon, reserving 1/4 of it for top of
casserole; add and stir until all ingredients are well mixed. Turn
mixture into a 10x6x1 and 1/2 inch baking dish. Sprinkle remaining
bacon on top. Bake at 350 degrees until knife inserted in center comes
out clean, about 30 minutes.
I usually double this recipe and bake in a 9x13 glass Pyrex dish, and
leave it in the oven just a little longer. It should be cooked well
enough that you can serve it in squares.
