This recipe is a family favourite for comfort food, and has been for a few years. I don't use the cornstarch in the meat, and usually substitute the flour with cornmeal or cornflour. As other reviewers suggest, ingredients can be added and substituted with ease. Thanks!

This recipe has turned out to be a family favorite. I pretty much use as listed in the ingredients for the recipe, but have made changes if I didn't have the right ingredients on hand. It has always turned out great. Thank you!

This was one great recipe and really easy to make. Cream styled corn is always used in this type of recipe and I followed your's to a T.

I did not add the peppers as I did not have them on hand and I have a few people who don't like too "hot"..Overall, very tasty, but the cornbread mix seemed to lack some moisture. I cooked 5 minutes less than suggested but it still seemed a little dry...maybe add sour cream and regular corn instead of the creamed corn?
