This is very good and very rich! To me it was a different taste esp with the addition all the sour cream. I think that if I had not used 1/2 fresh and 1/2 frozen corn that the soure cream would of overpowered the corn taste. I would highly recommend using fresh or a really good quality frozen so you have a corn taste. The bacon and the parm cheese are a nice added touch. Thanks Kitten!
