Scalloped Corn

















































Scalloped Corn is my all time favorite Thanksgiving dish. My mom has made it every Thanksgiving and at my request for special dinners as long as I can remember. Since Mom came to my house this Thanksgiving there was no doubt Scalloped Corn would be on the menu.

This dish is a bit complicated and you have to keep an eye on it when it's on the stove, but if you enjoy corn, and who doesn't?? I encourage you to give this colorful, creamy veggie casserole a try. I am confident that it will be on your next Thanksgiving table if you do!
