Wow! I am so impressed with my effort to clean out my freezer. I have been craving a smoke pretty bad today. I think it's from boredom, so I decided to make a little headway in cleaning out my freezer. I found some big bags of frozen corn and decided I would make some sort of corn casserole. OMG! It turned out so good, I wrote down the recipe. I actually threw it together from ingredients I had on hand, and I am sharing it here so you can enjoy it also. I call it Cleaning out the freezer Corn Casserole. I believe in keeping things as real and simple as possible. Can't you tell?
