Spoonbread: $3.25

That's right folks. For those of you who are broke, this one's ideal. A Southern classic and a filling amazement.

(copied from a website)

* 3 1/2 cups milk
* 1 cup yellow cornmeal
* 2 teaspoon salt
* 1 can (about 1 pound or 2 cups) cream-style corn
* 2 tablespoons butter
* 5 eggs, well beaten

PREPARATION:
Heat 3 cups milk over hot water in top of double boiler. Mix cornmeal with remaining milk and salt; add to hot milk in double boiler. Cook, stirring, until thickened. Cover and cook for another 5 minutes.

Add corn and cook for 3 minutes longer. Add butter and stir until butter has melted. Fold in beaten eggs. Transfer mixture to a greased 2-quart casserole. Bake at 375° for 1 hour, or until firm but light (It will sink when removed from oven). Serve immediately with butter*. Serves 6.

*I like to top this off with grated cheese and Newman's Own Peach Salsa. !
