This dish has consistently been my favorite at Thanksgiving over the years. However, it experienced a brief hiatus when my uncle took over Thanksgiving and was secretly using a Costco-prepared version. Upon discovering this, I made a big scene about it and declared I would be responsible for the creamed corn moving forward. According to family lore, my Nana stormed the kitchen of a steakhouse demanding the recipe of this creamed corn (she passed when I was 9 but wow we would have been trouble together).
