Corn Pudding Recipe

[@ToddBenson-k2s]

This recipe (minus the cheese and bacon topping) has been a part of our Thanksgiving dinner for years. I passed the recipe on to my son and now that is the dish that he brings every year. It is delicious!! This year, after dinner, I put out some to go containers so people could help themselves to the leftovers. My 6 yr. old grandson grabbed a container and started loading it up with just the Corn Pudding and said "This is just for me!". When he got home he told his mom (who was sick and couldn't come to Thanksgiving Dinner) that she could have ONE spoonful, but the rest was his! :)

Oh my gosh!!! I made this for my daughter on Christmas Eve dinner, and it was a hit! Everyone loved it

[@kateand1669]

I have the cookbook and will definitely be making this for my family! Thank you Ruth for sharing your favorite recipes with us.

I have a similar recipe that calls for melting the butter in the oven in the pan, then dumping the mixed ingredients on top. The mixture starts to cook immediately, and you get that crispy browned butter edges!

Looks like an addition to Christmas Dinner for me. Many thanks!

[@olgabombard6277]

I have been making this recipe for probably 30+ years. I haven't put bacon or cheese in it, but I will be adding this to mine this year. We make it for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner. It's my son's favorite side.

[@tenawallace3989]

I have got to make this recipe! My family will love it.

I've had this before, but without the cheese and bacon. I'm sure thiis makes it even better. 😊 Thank you for sharing your recipes, traditions and life. ❤

Hi Gina, do you think I could take the bacon out and fold in some finely chopped green chiles? I live in Europe but I'm from Southern California, where there is a restaurant that makes sweet corn, cheddar and green chile tamales for the holidays. (I can get Jiffy shipped from an American food store in Belgium!)

[@gina5827]

@carysnw1 I definitely think so!! That sounds delicious. I'd love to make it that way sometime too. 😊

[@jeanettecameron7530]

Jiffy is the best. The perfect blank slate for all cornbread recipes.

[@deborahb3664]

Looks so good!! Can’t wait to try!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@angelamonson]

[@lynnhuddleston3199]

Thank you for sharing this recipe, Ruth. I think this will be a wonderful side dish for Christmas this year! ❤

[@kaywallace6139]

Looks simple and delicious.

[@janetabbott7461]

This is great in the summer too…we serve ours with ribs on the grill. Tastes great room temp too…if you don’t add the bacon

[@mt1885]

oh yummy! This looks amazing!😁😉

[@elizabethbrehm8996]

Love this thank you Ruth

[@maryrose7842]

Looks good What can I substitute if I can’t get the jiffy mix?

[@melissatolito9418]

Any cornbread mix should work, may need to add 1-2 Tbsp sugar since jiffy is sweeter than most cornbread mixes😊

[@thisuniquechica]

Google Copycat recipe for jiffy 😊

[@jeanlaubenthal698]

Would using the mixer pump up the egg whites a bit for the ”soufflé” to get a boost?

[@hungryforhome5486]

Yes, it’s a great way to add some extra lift!

[@MimiYouyu]

Looks amazing, but better to only use non gmo corn, and take a look at the ingredients in that jiffy stuff. 😢

[@RidaYates]

How much cornbread would you need to make because I do not like Jiffy. Would love to make this.

[@hungryforhome5486]

If you prefer not to use Jiffy, you can substitute with about 1 1/2 cups of homemade cornbread mix (or the equivalent of an 8.5 oz box of Jiffy)

[@JoEllenCampbell]

but where is your shirt/jacket from?

[@SahayamaryNirmala]

Nirmala from INDIA 🥰 I need your book

[@carlaprimrose1030]

We don’t have jiffy in Canada 😢

[@kimberleyboone2084]

Giant Tiger sells it in Canada

[@carlaprimrose1030]

@ looks like I’ll be going to Calgary 🤣

[@staciejackson7497]

You can Google for a recipe for a homemade mix to substitute.

[@jeanlaubenthal698]

The Hungry for home cookbook is expensive in price compared with others…did it have to be?

[@susanjivoini6330]

“I didn’t think people really used these”. What an elitist thing to say

[@beverlyclement7038]

Shame on you

[@lauradbugge]

She says just before that “I used to think…” and ‘I didn’t think’ which show past tense Ms. Susan so… come down! Smh everything is relative and people are allowed to use better quality products from time to time. That does not make them elitist

[@kateand1669]

Lol I'm going to tell you the way I took that comment. When I heard Ruth say "I didn't think people really used these" I thought I understood what she was saying. My grandparents were very poor but my grandmother would have never used a box mix just simply because she could make is better from scratch. I did not take it as an elitist remark. I hope this comment helps and gives some understanding on good old fashion cornbread making.😊

[@carysnw1]

Nah, I'm Ruth's age, and I think she means that her family made cornbread from scratch. Some of my family members had the same reaction to cranberry sauce in a can back in the day, whereas I didn't even know cranberries were from an actual plant when I was a kid. She uses a lot of "shortcut" products in her recipes. She's no snob.

[@MimiYouyu]

Read the ingredients in that stuff, not even safe for human consumption.
