Corn Pudding

My absolute favorite side dish of all time!

Ingredients:

1 3/4 cups milk
4 eggs
1 stick butter, melted
1 bag (20 oz) frozen corn kernels, or 2.5 cups fresh corn kernels
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Dash Tabasco

Directions:

In a small saucepan, heat milk and gently melt the butter. Allow this to cool for a bit while you beat the eggs and mash up the corn a bit. I usually do this by hand because I'm lazy like that. I just grab handfuls of corn and eggs and squeeze it through my palms. You want a bit of a rough texture. If using frozen corn, allow it to melt first in a colander. Mix all the ingredients together and partially puree it with an immersion blender. Place in a buttered 2-quart baking dish. Bake at 325 degrees for 1.25 hours. The top should be lightly browned.
