The BEST Corn Casserole - seriously delicious! Creamed corn loaded with cheddar and bacon! SO good!! Can make ahead of time and refrigerate or freezer for later. Corn, eggs, flour, sugar, butter, cayenne pepper, cheddar cheese, and bacon. Everyone RAVES about this easy casserole recipe. There are never any leftovers when I take this side dish to a party!
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Lightly spray a 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a food processor or blender, combine one package of corn, eggs, flour, sugar, butter and cayenne pepper. Pulse 3 or 4 times, until corn is creamed. Pour mixture into a large bowl.
Add remaining package of corn, 1 cup cheddar cheese and bacon. Stir to combine.
Pour corn mixture into prepared pan. Top with remaining cheese.
Bake uncovered for 30 minutes.
Notes:
Can substitute an equivalent amount of fresh or canned corn for the frozen corn.
one medium ear fresh corn = approximately 1 cup
one pound of frozen corn = just over 3 cups
one 15-oz can of corn = 1½ cups
You can assemble the casserole ahead of time and refrigerate or freeze for later.
This makes a lot of corn, so it would be great for a cookout, potluck, or holiday meal. I like to divide the mixture into two pans and cook one and freeze the second pan for later.
Feel free to add some diced green chiles to the casserole for a Mexican flare!
