I used to buy this for DD to use for corn fritters - but now she has decided she doesn't like it and prefers Watties. Can't blame her really, not sure whether they changed the recipe but she was happy with it for years and it was her standby cheap lunch.
I now have 2 cans of budget creamed corn that no one will eat. Has anybody got any good recipes using (or disguising) it?
Any advice gratefully accepted,

Alison and simon holst have a lively recipe for corn and potato chowder. A family favourite, and quick to make.

Corn fritters - easy and yummy with tomato sauce. Beat 2 eggs, add 1/2 cup self raising flour then can of corn. Fry inn oil a few minutes either side

I need to go through my recycle bin to find the can I used the other day - either Watties or Oak, the creamier of the two with more mashed up corn and fewer whole ears. That's the one I prefer. What's wrong with Budget Creamed Corn? I won't buy some budget cans - pears, salmon and asparagus which can be hard, dry or stringy, in that order.

Creamed corn and onion toasties are delicious.

Corn patties come out lighter and yummier if you separate the eggs, add the yokes, beat the whites and add them last folding. Yummo.

I am not sure - for years she was happy with them, 95c a can she would add flour, baking powder and an egg and have a yummy lunch. Not sure if its because I once brought Watties as it was on special - when she compared the 2 apparently Watties (for her) won hands down. bugger I say as they cost about 50% more.

toadfish/Julia, maybe when your daughter compared the 2, she looked in particular at the %% of actual corn in the different brands. I recall my DD and myself doing that one day at PnS and Watties was a clear winner over all other options at that time. :-))

Think we have another winner as I have some cornmeal that needs using up as well. Will be good for Lunchboxs to have with soup. Not sure about olives and jalapenos - may use fried bacon pieces and onions.
Sweetcorn bread Ingredients 1 tsp Baking powder 1¼ cups Cornmeal, fine ground ¼ cup Flour 2 tsp Sugar ½ tsp Salt 1 cup Buttermilk (will use Trim Milk) 2 Eggs 1 can Creamed corn, approx 410g 60 g Black olives 40 g Pickled jalapeno chillies (will used some marinated capsicums) 1 handful Cheddar cheese, grated
Directions
1.Preheat oven to 220C. 2.Sift flour with baking powder into a mixing bowl. Add cornmeal, salt and sugar. 3.In a separate bowl, beat eggs with buttermilk. Add sweetcorn, olives and jalapeno peppers. Mix all together. 4.Add the wet to the dry ingredients and incorporate to a batter without over mixing. 5.Pour into a loaf tin, top with lots of grated cheddar cheese and bake for 35-40 minutes until firm and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean

Your right 245sam - she says the watties has more recognisable corn - the budget has more "cream". I always try the budget version just in case we like it - I always buy budget chopped tomatoes - but that's about it now in the canned range.

Hi Toady,
add a can to your cheese sauce next time you make macaroni cheese. Apart from being delicious - it makes the dish a bit healthier which I know your girls would appreciate :)

I 2nd the chicken and sweetcorn soup. Very basic recipe but rather yummy. Cook up a pack of chicken soup, add 1t fresh grated ginger, 1 tin sweetcorn, bring to a simmer and cook 2-3 mins. lightly beat 2 eggs and swirl into soup, serve straight away. Sprinkle on chopped spring onions
