Corn Pudding with Cheddar and Bacon

Corn Pudding With Cheddar and Bacon

I’ll start with the disclaimers: The following recipe is subject to family discretion. It contains ingredient materials (such as butter, cream and bacon) which may be offensive to some viewers. It also contains canned cream corn along with the fresh, which I once tried omitting. The result lacked the familiar creamy texture that my family adores so….it’s back.

If I haven’t lost you yet, you may find this to be the best doggone corn pudding you’ve ever tasted. I wanted to added a chopped chipotle pepper but was voted down, yet again.
But hey! It’s Thanksgiving. We’re all adults, right? If you’d like to add chipotles for a smokin’ hot review, go for it!
