Family Recipe Friday - Grandma's Corn Pudding

Here's a dish when made always reminds me of my Grandma Bean [Mary Elizabeth Faudree Bean]. She didn't have a recipe for this, she simply made it with what she felt were the right amounts of each ingredient. Years later I played around with the ingredients I wrote down in my little Hope Chest Recipes Book [simply a spiral bound notebook!] until I came pretty darn near the same flavors as I recall hers to be.

We always have this dish on Thanksgiving. And any other time I am missing my Grandma.
