Submitted by Debbie Kruse

Ingredients

2 cans creamed corn 4 eggs, slightly beaten
2/3 c. sugar 6 tbsp flour
2 tsp salt ½ tsp nutmeg, ground
½ tsp black pepper 1 c. milk
2 tbsp butter

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.  Butter or spray 9″x9″ baking dish (or other appropriate sized casserole dish).
  2.  In a large bowl, mix together creamed corn, eggs, sugar, flour, salt, nutmeg, black pepper, & milk.  Pour mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  3. Slice the butter in half & place the slices on top, separated.  Bake for 1 hour or until golden brown on top.  The center of the pudding may still appear to be loose due to the butter, but the edges should appear done.

Goode Gravy

Tuesday Dec 7, 2010

Submitted by Jen Goode
Serves 5

Ingredients

1 lb. maple sausage 1 tbsp beef bouillon
5 c. milk 1 tsp seasoned pepper
Flour Dash of garlic herb seasoning

Directions

1. In a large skillet, brown the sausage.  Drain the grease.  Put it in a food processor & chop to fine pieces.  Set aside.
2. Add 4 c. of milk to the skillet, stirring in the beef bouillon, seasoned pepper, and garlic herb seasoning.  Simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes.  Stir in sausage, add the remaining milk, & simmer for another 5-10 minutes.
3.  In a separate bowl, mix 1 c. of warm water with 1 tbsp of flour.  Stir until well mixed.  Continue to add flour, 1 tbsp at a time, until the consistency of the mixture is that of a thick cake batter.  Pour the flour/water mixture into the skillet & stir thoroughly until the gravy begins to thicken.
4. Remove from the heat & pour generously over freshly baked biscuits.  Serve.

Chef’s Note: We like the Jimmy Dean brand of sausage and prefer Pillsbury Buttermilk Biscuits.  If the gravy ends up too thick, add more milk.
