Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Lightly grease a Pyrex dish.
- Mix all ingredients together in the prepared dish.
- Bake until the mixture is firm and golden brown, about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding a cup of shredded cheese, like cheddar, to the mix. If you don't have pimentos, diced red bell peppers or jalapeños work well as substitutes. Ensure the oleo is soft to allow for easier mixing, and for a gluten-free option, use cornstarch instead of flour.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm as a comforting side dish at family gatherings or potlucks. It pairs beautifully with roasted meats or a fresh green salad like Fresh Spring Peach Salad. For a complete meal, consider serving alongside Mama'S "Icebox" Rolls for a delightful experience.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the pudding in a preheated oven at 350°F until warmed through, about 15-20 minutes. Alternatively, you can microwave individual portions for about 1-2 minutes, checking for doneness.
