Creole Hush Puppies

---

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.
