Comments

I had forgotten all about Pennsylvania Dutch Corn Pie until several visitors to the site requested it. I didn't have my grandmother's recipe, so my mother and I put our heads together and came up with this. It is doubtful that my grandmother would have added the green and red peppers, and my mother doesn't remember her using bacon, but they add a lot of extra flavor. This is absolutely delicious. Omit the bacon for a vegetarian dish.
