Spoon Bread

Submitted by Barb G.

"I have been making this spoon bread for years. My kids loved it when they were at home. The recipe is over 100 years old. It makes a good side dish. Add 1/2 cup of sugar or honey to turn it into an old fashion dessert."

I'd never tried spoon bread till tonight and I like it, so does my family! I used Lactaid milk for the sweet milk (we're lactose intolerant around here) and made the rest as is. This smells wonderful while baking....we had it with brisket and carrots. Very nice meal. Thanks for posting this Barb :)
