Recipe Notes
[My 2 Cents]
Remember when I did my Freezer Corn: How To? That's what I pulled out for this recipe! Worked perfect. I was able to have fresh corn at the end of November for my holiday dish. If you weren't able to freeze corn this year, I would highly recommend it for next year. It's AWESOME!
