Ingredients
Instructions

- Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well blended.

- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes, or until the pudding is set and golden on top.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, try using half-and-half instead of milk or cream. If you're looking for a healthier twist, substitute the margarine with coconut oil or unsalted butter. You can also add in some shredded cheese or chopped green onions for extra taste. Make sure to mix the ingredients well to avoid lumps, similar to how you would for the '32 Ford Polka Dot Cake.'

Corn pudding is a delightful side dish that pairs beautifully with grilled meats or roasted vegetables. Serve it alongside dishes like fried chicken or barbecue for a classic meal. For a complete dinner, consider adding a fresh salad or the 'Basic Recipe For Cream Pies' for dessert, creating a well-rounded dining experience.
