Couch Cushion Corn Casserole  – named so because you can find enough spare change in your couch cushions to buy all the ingredients! My mom and I have been making this for years and it is a surefire crowd pleaser – the whole thing costs under $3.00 and takes about 30 seconds to prep.  It’s a snap to make even with two kids and two dogs all freaking out at once, which basically describes every waking minute of my life these days.  Before you get all snooty about this coming straight from a can, let me assure you – I have made this for friends who are chefs and even they’ve been impressed with it!  In true Fab & Fru fashion, it’s an elegant dish that costs next to nothing.

My mom found the battered piece of paper the recipe is on – we’re pretty sure we got it out of the Chicago Anti-Cruelty Society cookbook about 20 years ago – we’ve been making it ever since!

Orignal Recipe by Jeanie Sandore

1 – 15 oz can corn niblets

1 – 15 oz can creamed corn

1 stick butter

1 egg

1 box corn muffin mix

Melt the butter. Drain the corn niblets. Mix everything together in an 8×8 casserole and bake at 375 degrees for 40 minutes.  That’s it!  As an added bonus, if you are traveling with it to a friend’s house, it tastes just as good room temp as it does piping hot.  Believe me, you’re your guests will be giving thanks for this delicious, corny goodness.
