This is an oldie but a goodie, Corn Patch Corn Casserole. I was thumbing through my recipes when I came across it and I don’t think I’ve made it for over 30 years. I thought I’d resurrect my recipe and try it again. See if my memories about how good this is are correct and all that.

Brunswick Stew Virginia Style
How do I know about Brunswick Stew Virginia Style?

Jalapeno Cheddar Cornbread
So how do you all like your cornbread? Me, I’m a Northerner, through and through. I like mine light and fluffy and moist and in this instance, with a bit of a bite from jalapeno. It’s not too much heat, but just enough to make you sit up and take notice.

Sloppy Joe Casserole
I know I’ve said it before. I don’t really “get” casseroles! Cook a bunch of good food, mix it together and recook it!

Old Time Corn Pudding
I was introduced to Corn Pudding late in life, I’m afraid, which is a bit of a shame because my down-home Old Time Corn Pudding is scrumptious, easy and really a nice side for anything barbecued or grilled. It’s also a really nice side for special occasions and holidays, too. Everyone will smile when they see Old Time Corn Pudding at the table.
