Traditional Corn Pudding Recipe
The Perfect Side Dish

Corn is tradition at Thanksgiving, but then add in the pudding component as it bakes, and it is delicious! This is a traditional dish that I started in my family and a recipe that my mother requested. That’s when I knew it was good 😊. You will also love the simplicity of this side dish.
On Thanksgiving morning, this is one recipe I can prepare first thing in the morning and set it aside and in the refrigerator it goes until an hour to and hour and a half before dinner is served…somewhere between when the turkey comes out of the oven and dinner is served.
I prepare this side for Thanksgiving, but it is a great side dish anytime – it is delicious with chicken, pork, fish, etc… It’s creamy texture is also nice served with grilled meats. Prepare ahead, refrigerate until ready to bake – easy!
