    I love creamed corn! A local restaurant serves it – and I always order it, but I’ve never made my own. Theirs doesn’t have roasted red peppers or bacon though, so I can just imagine that takes it over the top! Pinning!

    Wonder how it would so to freeze it and the heat it up? Thoughts? Would like to make it ahead of time for thanksgiving.
