Corn Pudding Recipe

Growing up down South we had our family’s traditional dishes we had every Thanksgiving. It wasn’t until college when I started celebrating Thanksgiving with friends that I realized that different areas of the country celebrated with totally different dishes than I grew up with! Dishes that were amazingly good, like this Traditional Corn Pudding recipe I’m sharing today.

Why I Love This Corn Pudding Recipe

I’m not sure why this dish seems to be more of a New England regional favorite, it’s delicious! Creamy corn baked with a healthy dose of cheddar cheese and topped with buttery cracker crumbs. My mouth is watering just typing it! When I first tried this it became an instant favorite comfort food, perfect for holidays! The best thing of all? It’s incredibly easy to make and a pretty fail proof recipe!
