Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 bell pepper, red or green, finely chopped (optional)
1 can(s) whole kernel corn or mexicorn, drained

Stir again, cover and cook on HI for 5 minutes more. If you want it creamier you can add a little milk before cooking the last 5 minutes.
  • 4. Remove from microwave, keep covered and let sit for 5 minutes. Enjoy! *TIPS: You can also add crushed red pepper flakes instead of jalapeno peppers if desired.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, sweet corn. Fresh corn on the cob is best, but you can also use frozen corn kernels if you don't have fresh corn available.
  • Don't overcook the rice. Rice should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked rice will make the casserole mushy.
  • Use a good quality cheddar cheese. Sharp cheddar cheese will give the casserole the best flavor. You can also use a blend of cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different add-ins. This recipe is a great base for adding your own favorite ingredients. Try adding diced bell peppers, onions, or cooked bacon.
  • Make sure the casserole is hot and bubbly before serving. This will ensure that the cheese is melted and gooey.
