you can certianly use vegetable or chicken stock and it will taste just as good as using boullion powder, if not a little better.
then you can always add more if it dries out.

Thanks for the recipe, ariseman, and let me add my welcome to the community. I just happen to have a box of Kasha in my freezer and I've been wondering what recipe to try with it. I just have one question. What kind of bouillon do you use, and can you substitute chicken stock, which I just made and happen to have a lot of?

Not a good little German girl as my father says... so no sauerkraut at my house. I do like making a tatter tot casserole though. Lots of different ways to make it.

Small bag of tater tots
1 can cream of chicken
small chunks of Velveeta
S&P
1/2 c salsa
Combine and bake until potatoes are good and done.

The texture of corn pudding is pretty creamy and similar to grits, oatmeal, and hot cereal only with whole corn in it. It is also similar to many southern bread puddings. One of the best things about it is that kids generally like it due to the sweetness.

You can add spices and some condiments to make it work with different dishes. I've used taco seasoning - about half a packet - with a 1/2 cup salsa. I have also cooked it with chopped broccoli mixed in. What a better way to add vegetables in when kids are at the table.

My favorite corn pudding though is roasted jalapeño. I had a similar dish at my favorite mexican restaurant and had to come up with a similar recipe. I hope you try it and like it!!

Hmm, I've seen Corn Pudding, but never actually eaten it, it's a texture thing. But after seeing the actual recipe, it looks really good!

Corn Pudding is a family favorite!

Corn Pudding
1 can corn
1 can creamed corn
1 box jiffy cornbread muffin mix
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup sour cream
2 eggs
1 stick butter, melted
1/2 cup your favorite shredded cheese, optional

Mix first 6 ingredients together thoroughly then add in melted butter. Mix again. Add salt and pepper to taste. Pour batter into a greased 9 x 13 pan and bake for 40 minutes at 350. Sprinkle with cheese and return to oven just to melt cheese, about 5 minutes.

If you like things spicy, roast a jalapeno or two, dice, add it to the mixture.

Also known as prairie oysters, along with a few other names, but those are the two most well known.
