SQUAW CORN

I am going through my little old metal recipe box from when I was a young Air Force wife in the 1960s. I found this recipe that I used to make. That's right, I used to make. I am now an old widow woman who can no longer have corn for health reasons. I doubt you could name a recipe squaw corn today. Some people would go nuts. This is a good recipe I cut off a can of Del Monte cream style corn. Canned vegetables used to say cut here for recipes and when you cut off the label, there were recipes on the back. Here is a nostalgic recipe worth trying. I will type it out as it may be hard to read.

4 slices bacon, diced

1 cup diced onion

1 cup diced green pepper

1 can (15-1/4 oz.) DEL MONTE FreshCut Golden Sweet Whole Kernel Corn, drained

1 can (14-3/4 oz.) DEL MONTE FreshCut Golden Sweet Cream Style Corn

1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

1/4 cup bread crumbs or cornflakes (optional)

Cook bacon until crisp; drain and reserve 1 tablespoon drippings. Add onion and pepper; cook until tender. Add corn; mix well. Pour into 1-1/2-quart baking dish or six (10-oz.) individual baking cups. Top with cheese and crumbs. Bake at 350 degrees F, 15 minutes or until hot and cheese is melted.
