Rain = Comfort Food

It's pouring with rain here in Georgia today. Definitely a day to make something hot and full of carbs! Here's a recipe for a delicious corn casserole from allrecipes.com. You know I cannot leave a recipe alone, so I've added some optional ingredients for your tasting pleasure. I have tried all of them - even some combos of them - with great success.

RAINY DAY CORN CASSEROLE
(Good for any other day too)

INGREDIENTS
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 eggs, beaten
1 (8.5 ounce) package dry corn bread mix
1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained (or about 1 1/2 cups frozen, thawed under running water.)
1 (14.75 ounce) can creamed corn
1 cup sour cream

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and lightly grease a 9x9 inch baking dish.
In a medium bowl, combine butter, eggs, corn bread mix, whole and creamed corn and sour cream. Spoon mixture into prepared dish.
Bake for 45 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the top is golden brown.

You can add stuff if you want -  a can of chopped chilies, or some pimiento, or a handful of cheese, or sauteed onions and green peppers, or bacon. It’s very forgiving.
