I'm from Pennsylvania Dutch country. My family has been using Cope's corn for a long time. I particularly like this savory pudding-like casserole. This recipe is right off the package and I make it just that way. You can buy Cope's Corn on the internet. If you like corn, you should try this.
I've made this about a dozen times, and dressed it up by adding 2 large sliced, sauteed jalapenos, use 2TB sugar (package calls for 3); if I have leftover fresh niblets from another use char them in pan in butter. Add the jalapenos and niblets halfway through after a stir. Still really simple, and elevated. Sprinkle on fresh chopped parsley after baking.

This is far simpler than the recipe on the packet which calls for separating egg yolks and reintroducing hot mixtures, etc. Is there a big difference? I’m going to try this one today (I’ve only ever had the creamed or stewed methods in the past). Dried corn has always been my absolute favorite holiday side dish (thanks Bernice Bolman!)
I have been making this dish several times a year my entire adult life. My family likes it sweet so I use the full 3 Tb sugar. Also, I stir it just enough to break up the top halfway through cooking. This redistributes the corn granules more evenly throughout the baked pudding.
