I am not sure how long I have eaten this recipe, my mom passed it down; she has been gone now 6yrs this month. I am now passing this recipe on to relatives and friends all over the country... I had no idea how many people knew about it.. We all do our own little something different to this, but it will always be a family gathering casserole for families of all ages to come.. Happy Thanksgiving to all. Blessing to those on the East Coast and Thanks to all of our Soldiers out there!

Can I make this in a loaf pan?

A family favorite but I substitute mexicorn style for the whole kernel yellow corn, it adds a bit of color and extra flavor with the red and green peppers. I have also added a small jar of pimentos from time to time. My recipe is identical except it doesn't call for any eggs. I'll have to try it with the cream cheese instead of the sour cream... sounds great.

Can this be prepared in a muffin or mini muffin tin and not fall apart? This recipe is our favorite and I have made it in the past in casserole dish without eggs, and with cheddar on top.

My mom makes this as her specialty dish every Thanksgiving. One of the things that makes me so eager for Thanksgiving!!

This is always a winner. I saute a chopped onion in the butter and add a 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese to the mixture and then put 1/2 cup cheese on top during the last 10 minutes of cooking.

Have prepared this for years but we add 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese

I been making this since the 80's on every Holiday, aways a big hit..

I'd like to make this the day before Thanksgiving and reheat. (Very short on time that morning!) Any suggestions on the best way to do this? Oven? Microwave? Thanks!

Same question as Debbie: if preparing the day before, should I bake as normal then reheat in oven tomorrow? Or do I refrigerate uncooked then bake fully tomorrow?

I have made it in advance, refrigerated and then reheated in the microwave. It is wonderful at any temperature. :)

You can mix this up the night before and cook it the next day with no problem. It sometimes takes more than an hour for those of you that are getting a soupy middle. I put mine in the crockpot, and use chip dip instead of sour cream.

Extraordinary.... Always a dinner favorite. This dish is enjoyed by all.

My favorite version is to sub 8 oz. French onion sour cream dip in place of the regular sour cream.

Great recipe... but I do add onions,peppers/chili's and a little sausage to give it a KICK... and coarse ground black pepper.

Have been making this for years. I do not use a whole stick of butter in it, I can't imagine that! I just coat the bottom with butter and add maybe two tbsp. butter if that. We also make one with 1/2 onions, 1/3 red pepper, 3 green onions and a small can of green chilies.

I have been making this for years for the holidays, it's one of my families favorites. I substitute cottage cheese for the sour cream & add chopped green onions.

ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS STUFF!!! it is the best, I'm about to make some for Thanksgiving.
