A Southern Tradition -- Corn Casserole

[silvercaladan]

 Its christmastime in the south, and the heat is afoot. But whether its 20 degrees or 70 (wahoo, Texas) outside, you can always enjoy this family classic: Corn Casserole.

Its about the easiest and most delicious thing you can make, and makes a fabulous side dish to go along with your Christmas Ham... I hear some families make turkey, but in my family, you eat (deep fried) turkey only for Thanksgiving. I'm sure the casserole'd taste awesome with both.

3/4 cup oil
3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup yellow kernel corn
1 can cream style corn
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 lb grated cheese (American or Cheddar)
2 jalapenos
4 eggs

Mix all ingredients, pour in a deep baking dish, and cook at 350 for around 35-45 minutes. THEN INHALE AND CONSUME.

This sounds delicious! I've never had creamed corn before--is it something that's commonly sold in groceries?

Yeah! At least around here. Its kind of like corn that's already been prepared... turned into a kinda soup. You should be able to find it in the same aisle as the regular canned corn.
You simply need two different types of canned corn for this recipe: the regular (kernal) and creamed
