Nice, but not one of my chilhood foods, like this seems to be for the rest of the reviewers, who rave about this spoon bread. So, since I don't have any emotional connections to this food, I think I will try a sweeter version of spoon bread, next. I found it just a little dry, too. But everybody else seems to love this, so don't let me put you off.

    Wonderful. It has been a long time since I had spoon bread, and this recipe tasted as I remember. So good!! I made it without changing anything, because the simple way is best. It came out of the oven looking so beautiful. Lots of butter, and ahhhhh! Thanks, Bev for this wonderful recipe to add to my T&T cookbook.

    I regret trying this recipe. Ever since my roommate tasted this with homemade kumquat preserves, I have to keep making more! Too good...
