California Corn Casserole

I've used this delectable recipe for years, and unlike many others it doesn't contain cornbread mix. It is always a huge hit, both as a Thanksgiving dish, but also a great side dish for a summer cookout. I hope you enjoy it, it's my first post here at the Recipe*zaar...I double this for Thanksgiving
