The other day I was looking through an old church cookbook that my great aunt gave to me. My great aunt was this incredible woman who I adored like a grandmother.
She was the oldest child of my great grandmother’s sort of second family. After losing her husband just 2 months after she arrived in the United States, my great grandmother reluctantly decided to stay in this country and help care for a sick relative with my then 12 year old grandmother.
Can you imagine? Being a widowed single mom in a country that was completely foreign to you? Thank goodness I come from a long line of amazingly strong women because she decided to stay. If she wouldn’t have, I would be here and I wouldn’t have this recipe to share.

Can the muffin mix be substituted with corn meal? I would like to make it gluten free.
Lisa Longley says
I haven’t tried that, but I would suspect no because there’s quite a bit going on in the mix. If you give it a try let me know!
Darcelle Henry Pearson says
For the person wanting to try converting this to a gluten free corn pudding…I plan to try it using a gluten free corn bread/muffin mix. I think it’ll work. I can’t wait. Lol.
Cynthia R Zeglin says
I make with Jalapeno Cornbread mix, browned taco flavored ground beef, cream style corn onion and cheese. You can basically add anything to this recipe. Broccoli and cheese
