Papa Scott’s Notes:

• You can substitute Frozen Peas or Cut Green Beans for the Corn or you can cut the corn to 6 oz. and add 6 oz. of peas or beans.

• For a less pronounced onion flavor you can use a yellow onion.

• Another substitution you can make is crushed potato chips instead of fried onions for the topping.
