I first had these when Buddha first took me to his family's fishing spot on the lake. His Aunt Brenda makes these often. I loathed hush puppies before these. Always thought them dry and bland. Not these! Wow are they yummy. Thanks Brenda!

CREOLE HUSH PUPPIES



Creole Hush Puppies image

The last time we fried catfish, I decided to try out this hush puppy recipe for a bit of a change. I used a can of mild Rotel tomatoes since I have small children, but you could use the hotter Rotel if you wish. This makes a lot of hush puppies, so you might want to halve the recipe. We really enjoyed the flavor of these...hope you will too! Recipe from Southern Living.
