OMGosh…this looks so good! And not just because of the bacon. LOL Thanks for sharing at Church Supper. Have a blessed week, Happy Thanksgiving and come back soon ~EMM
Made this for Christmas dinner (months ago, I know!) and it was absolutely delicious! My husband loves creamed corn, but had never had it home made. I was never a fan of the “corn soup” canned product, so I decided to give this a shot. Amazing! If you’re thinking about making this, do it!!
Awww….thanks so much for taking the time to let us know! So happy that you liked it. Be sure to try it in the summer when you will have fresh corn available. Fantastic! Thanks again for taking the time to leave us a comment.
