The best thing about this dish is that it's made with freshly cut corn. You can make it with frozen corn, but the taste just isn't the same. Don't even think about using canned corn. Be careful not to cook the corn too long or it will get mushy.

The other night we served Recipe #286794 and had this dish to go with it. They complimented each other, and both were delicious! I will definately be making this again soon. We added a little Tony Chachere's seasoning to give it a little extra pizzaz! It was an exellent addition. Thanks for sharing. DonReply
