"Then plough deep while sluggards sleep, and you shall have corn to sell and to keep."
-Benjamin Franklin, Genius

This recipe gives you so much of what is terrific about a creamed corn recipe – fresh corn flavor, sweetness, and best of all, creaminess. Serve this with any comfort food you choose: Oven Fried Chicken, Pulled Chicken Barbecue Sandwiches or Oven Fried Fish.
