Tricia's post about holiday recipes today had my wheels churning and my mouth watering. (Have I mentioned Tricia, aka Once a Month Mom, is my cousin? Like once, or a hundred times?)
My favorite Thanksgiving side dish, by far, is our Grandma's scalloped corn.
I'm not sure if this terminology is an Ohio thing or what. (Pam?) I've never heard anyone else call this scalloped corn. Around these parts, they have corn pudding, but it's sweet. This is not, except for the sweetness of the corn itself.
When we've had holidays in Tennessee (rare, but a few times), I've insisted on having this corn and my mom's sweet potatoes. Those are really the only things I care about. Turkey, I can take it or leave it. I'd rather have candied sweet potatoes than pie (but NO marshmallows). But, oh, corn. Yummmm.
Is it Thanksgiving yet?
Scalloped Corn
1 can whole kernel corn, drained
1 can creamed corn
1 1/2 cups milk
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 stick butter (4 T), melted
1 T sugar
salt and pepper
1 c. cracker crumbs (Ritz is best)
paprika
Mix together everything but the paprika. Pour into a greased 9x13 baking dish. Sprinkle with paprika (lightly). Bake 30-35 minutes at 350 F.
P.S. Here are a few of my other favorite holiday recipes.

We absolutely love scalloped corn! It's a recipe that's been handed down for years in the family. I've never heard of anyone else making it. Glad to know it really is a thing other people eat. :)
We make something very similar to this, but not exactly. It has cream cheese and sliced jalepenos (or green chiles) added to it. Delic!
GREAT!!! way to make corn. THANKS!!! for the recipe. Geri

Scalloped corn has been in our family for years. I never got the recipe from my mother before she passed and this one sounds pretty close. I have also never heard it called scalloped corn in other stated than Ohio. LOL I can't wait to try it this Thanksgiving.
Thank you for the great site!!
Mmmmm, I love scalloped corn. Can't wait for it next week. Perhaps we should suggest one for just the two of us to split? :)
