    Can this be made a day or two ahead, refrigerated and cooked day of? I know not to put on bread crumbs until ready to cook.

    1. I have only made it a day ahead of time and it worked out fine. So I am guessing 2 days would be ok as well. And yes, wait to put hte bread crumbs on 🙂

  2. I live hardly more than an hour from where the Pilgrims landed, and have spent plenty of time and weekends at the beach in Plymouth, too, but I have never had corn pudding! I plan to remedy that oversight very soon, since that recipe looks delicious! Happy Thanksgiving!
