Amish Farmhouse Corn Casserole

By Kevin Williams

Corn dishes are very popular on Amish Thanksgiving tables.  Corn adds color and depth to the variety of foods served and, man, count me as a corn fan.  Corn bulked up with cracker crumbs and flavored with butter and salt....heaven...and this corn casserole fits that bill.   And, for me, it does one better..it uses "creamed corn."  I don't think I've eaten creamed corn in 30 years.  My grandmother would always buy cans of it for me when I was a kid because she knew I liked it. Just for nostalgia's sake I may have to get some someday. So if you are looking for a popular, easy side dish for your Thanksgiving table, look no further.  And, of course, if you want a vegetarian version of this, just leave out the bacon. Reader Barbara tested this for us and here it is:
