Shepardess's Note:

This is a wonderful casserole to serve at your next barbeque! The really big problem is to keep sticky hands out of the fritters as they cool! This takes some time to make, but the compliments to the chief with outweigh the time!

One of my favorite recipes. I also use jiffy mix instead of cornmeal and flour, works great that way. My friends love it when I make this for a side dish. Greasy yes, but oh so delicious!!

A bit greasy, but great to use with a barbeque! I like the fritters by themselves.

From me - IF the batter is a little thick, you may thin it with either some milk or water. Also -Jiffy Mix may be substituted.
