Gloria's famous creamed corn

Why I Love This Recipe
My friend Gloria is a great cook, and she is kind enough to share her recipes with me and let me "tweak" them to my own taste. I really like creamed corn, and have been looking for a recipe like one I usually get in my favorite bbq places for a long time
