This is the absolute best corn recipe I have ever made. I made it for the first time for our Christmas dinner. I don't normally "try out" a recipe for meals that are so memorable, but I'm glad I did. The corn and cream cheese mix was so good, and the crunch of the Ritz on top was just so tasty. Not a bite left!! I just knew, after reading Kittencal reviews for this and her other dishes that it would be a hit. I also made the Kittencal Perfect Prime Rib Roast Au Jus (also for the first time ever) and it was equally fabulous. Thank you Kittencal for ALL your succulent dishes.
