My grandmother made this simple side dish when I was young and it is one of my favorites.

  • 1 cup cream-style corn
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup dill; chopped

  • 1 cup Monterey jack cheese, optional; grated
Instructions
  1. Peel onions, slice, and saute’ in butter until translucent.
  2. Combine muffin mix, egg, and milk.
  3. Place in a 9 x 13-inch pan or casserole dish that has been sprayed with no-stick spray.
  4. Evenly distribute the sour cream, corn, dill, and sauteed onions, over the top of the batter. Cut in the ingredients (once) with two butter knives. Do not over mix. Bake at 425F. for 25-30 minutes.

As a child, my GrandMother would make this dish for me as one of my all-time favorites. The biggest thing is not to over mix, there should be a surprise of flavor in every bite.
