Week Three: Recipe Two

Corn Pudding?

I saw a recipe for something called corn pudding. It sounded good but the reviews made me think that I could come up with something better. I decided to come up with my own recipe. So this is what I came up with. It was really good.

3 cups of corn kernels - BOUNTY (I used my corn on the cob. Each cob was about one cup of kernels)
1 med zucchini quartered and sliced - BOUNTY (Italian Pack)
1/2 cup diced onion - BOUNTY (Italian Pack)
6 slices bacon cooked crisp and diced (I used turkey bacon & I cooked it in the microwave)
1 box Jiffy Corn muffin mix
1 egg
1/3 cup milk
1 1/4 cup shredded cheese

Since I used corn on the cob, I boiled the corn for 10 minutes then drained and ran under cold water until I could handle it. Then I sliced the kernels from the cob.

In a microwave safe bowl, cook onions sprayed with olive oil spray for 2 minutes until tender.

Spray a casserole dish with non-stick spray. Combine the corn kernels, zucchini, onions and diced bacon in the dish. Stir in 3/4 cup of shredded cheese. In a small mixing bowl, combine the muffin mix, egg and milk. Stir until mixed. Pour the muffin mix over the vegetables and stir until mixed. Top with 1/2 cup shredded cheese. Bake at 375 for 40 minutes.

I didn't add salt or pepper until after, but you could definitely add other spices. I will have to experiment more in the future.
