Growing up in the South, it’s no surprise that I grew up eating cornbread. My grandmother always had some type of cornbread dish on the dinner table, and this corn pudding recipe is one I always looked forward to.
Creamed corn, lots of crispy, crunchy bacon and sharp white cheddar cheese are folded into cornbread batter and baked up into this rich and delicious cornbread pudding. Now don’t freak out — this isn’t the type of pudding you would expect at dessert time. This dish is hearty and filling, with just a bit of creaminess from the creamed corn and buttermilk.
Enjoyed as a side dish or even a main course, this corn pudding is nothing short of delicious.
