FRIDAY'S FAMILY FAVORITES

Fresh corn is at it's peak now and I recently added a lot of it to my freezer. While looking through MISS MARY BOBO'S BOARDING HOUSE COOKBOOK I found a recipe that uses fresh corn and sounds delicious.

SUMMER CORN PIE

5 slices bacon

1 1/2 c. cornbread, crumbled

2 medium tomatoes, sliced

1 bell pepper, chopped

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. sugar

2 tbsp. butter

4 ears fresh corn, husked, silked, kernels cut, and cob scraped

2 c. sharp cheddar cheese

In a 8 inch square baking dish arrange the bacon slices on the bottom and curving up the sides. Sprinkle over the bacon one cup of cornbread crumbs. Next layer half of each of the ingredients as follows: tomato slices, bell pepper, salt, sugar, butter, and corn. Repeat with another cup of cornbread crumbs and layers. Top with the grated cheese and remaining cornbread crumbs. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes. The pie will be hot, bubbly, and lightly browned.
