"My grandparentsdotcom Newsletter has done it again! -- Amazed me w/yet another recipe I would never have found on my own & one that turns something ordinary into something special. Here's what they had to say about this recipe that I suspect will become a family favorite: "Who knew that packaged frozen corn could become something so delectable? The standby side dish gets a face-lift thanks to your slow cooker & the addition of bacon, cheese & tomato." They gave credit for its origin to the BETTER HOMES & GARDEN NEW COOKBOOK, 16th Edition. Thank You BHG! Enjoy!"
