Sweet Onion Creamed Corn
A friend from church gave me this easy and delicious recipe over 40 years ago, and I still make it regularly. She was from the South, and whenever I cook it, I think about her fondly. —Nancy Heishman, Las Vegas, Nevada

It turned out very good, it was yummy, and my husband liked it too. When I first make a recipe I always make it the way it is presented, then if I like it enough to make it again, then I will change or add something if I think needed. In this, I think I would omit the ham, and maybe add a couple more slices of bacon.
