Re: Ideas for vegetable side dish

How about creamed corn. You can use bagged frozen corn.

I use Wal-Mart's Organic frozen corn 12 oz bag which = 3 cups.

 

5-6 slices of bacon 

3 cups corn, fresh or frozen

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

1 T sugar

2-3 T butter

3/4 c water

1 T flour 1/4 c milk

 

Fry bacon & leave grease in pan

Combine corn, salt, pepper, sugar, butter & water in skillet.

Cover & simmer 15 mins. on medium heat, stirring occasionally.

Combine flour & milk, blend til smooth. Stir into corn.

Cook 5 more mins., stirring constantly.

You can crumble the bacon to sprinkle on top of the corn.

 

I'm going to make some since I think we are eating Prime Rib again.

I am making Sheet Pan Roasted Vegetables for Christmas Day as my side to bring.

 

 

For those who don't like brussel sprouts, sub broccoli.  I also plan to add chopped carrots and wedges of red onions.

 

 

 

 
How to Make Sheet Pan Roasted Vegetables
A mix of colorful root vegetables may be your star side. Peeled, prechopped butternut squash saves time, but pieces tend to be irregular and small—we prefer peeling and cubing it yourself.
