    Delicious and moist. Will make this again.
    Used Jiffy corn muffin mix for corn meal. Recipe did not specify size of can for Creamed corn. I used 2- 8oz cans and half of the milk because by the time I added the milk I thought it was plenty moist so I cut milk in Half. Came out great. - 11/21/14

    Onions overpower the recipe. Possibly consider cutting in half. - 12/10/13
