## Tips

- This recipe is versatile and can be made with blackeyed peas, beans, or hominy instead of corn.
- If using cream corn, you may need to add flour to thicken the mixture.
- If not using cream corn, drain the water off regular corn to avoid needing to thicken.
- When baking in a 12-inch skillet, be mindful of the proximity of coals to the top of the biscuits.
- Let the casserole cool before serving for it to set up better and come out of the pan easier.
