BAKED CORN (LIKE A CORN CASSEROLE, BUT NO CHEESE OR SOUR CREAM)



Baked Corn (Like a Corn Casserole, but No Cheese or Sour Cream) image

This is an amazing side dish. I often whip this up when making food for church, a sick friend or a new mom. It's one of those easy, cheap and delicious meals. I have another corn casserole dish that I also love. But, this is one of the few that doesn't require cheese, cream cheese or sour cream. I use club crackers. But, I'm sure that you could also use Ritz. It's obviously not a diet food. Yum!

1 medium onion, diced
1 medium green pepper, diced
1 , 12 oz. pkg egg noodles, no-yolk variety (i use large)
1/4 c butter
1/4 c all purpose flour
2 1/2 c milk
1 pkg 8 oz. cream cheese
2 can(s) tuna, packed in water
1 can(s) small can peas, drained

1 c grated sharpe cheese
french onions to sprinkle on top of casserole

Steps:

  • 1. Sauté mushrooms, garlic, onion and green peppers in fry pan. Put aside. Cook the 12 oz. large bag of noodles in salted water; drain. 2. Melt butter in large fry pan and blend in flour. blend together. Add milk slowly, cooking and stirring constantly. When sauce is thick and smooth, blend in cream cheese. Then add cooked noodles, and lastly the whole can of tuna with water, peas, peppers, onion and mushrooms combination. Season with salt and pepper to taste; pour into a large 9 x 12 greased baking dish. top with sharp cheese and then sprinkle French onions or breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese on top. 3. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes. Note: Make sure noodles are done before making sauce. The sauce gets too thick if it sits while waiting for noodles to cook. Make sure the sauce is really creamy before baking, if not it will be too dry when it is baked. To make sauce more creamy, add more milk to give it a good consistency. I like this recipe because it is made with cream cheese instead of cream of mushroom soup

BAKED CREAM CHEESE FRENCH TOAST CASSEROLE RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Baked Cream Cheese French Toast Casserole Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by á-8595

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 (12-14 ounce) loaf french bread, sourdough bread, or challah (1)
8 ounces (224g) brick-style cream cheese, softened to room temperature (2)
2 Tablespoons (15g) confectioners' sugar (don't leave it out, trust me)
3 teaspoons (15ml) vanilla extract, divided
8 large Eggland's Best eggs
2 and 1/4 cups (540ml) whole milk
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2/3 cup (133g) packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup (69g) packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup (42g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
6 Tablespoons (86g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
Optional: fresh fruit, maple syrup, and/or confectioners' sugar for topping
Day-old, crusty bread is perfect for french toast casseroles. I prefer challah bread. I slice it up and let it sit out all day.
Since the cream cheese is only mixed with a little sugar and vanilla, make sure you are using quality cream cheese that tastes good. I love full-fat Philadelphia brand brick-style cream cheese for this dish.

Steps:

  • Grease a 9x13 pan with butter or spray with nonstick spray. Slice then cut the bread into cubes, about 1 inch in size. Spread half of the cubes into the prepared baking pan. Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the room temperature (not cold!) cream cheese on medium-high speed until completely smooth. Beat in the confectioners' sugar and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract until combined. Drop random spoonfuls of cream cheese mixture on top of the bread. Layer the remaining bread cubes on top of cream cheese. Set aside. Whisk the eggs, milk, cinnamon, brown sugar, and remaining vanilla together until no brown sugar lumps remain. Pour mixture over the bread. Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and stick in the refrigerator for 3 hours - overnight. Overnight is best. Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Remove pan from the refrigerator. Prepare the topping: Whisk the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon together in a medium bowl. Cut in the cubed butter with a pastry blender or two forks. Sprinkle the topping over the soaked bread. Bake for 45-55 minutes or until golden brown on top. I usually bake it for 45 minutes because I like it softer. Serve immediately. Cover leftovers tightly and store in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Make ahead tip: Prepare the topping in advance, cover tightly, and store in the refrigerator. Sprinkle over the soaked bread before baking. For freezing, prepare the recipe through step 4 (without preheating the oven) and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator then bake as directed.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality cream cheese: Opt for full-fat cream cheese to ensure a rich and creamy casserole. Soften it to room temperature before mixing to achieve a smooth consistency.
  • Choose your fillings wisely: Consider your personal preferences and dietary restrictions when selecting your fillings. Popular options include ham, bacon, vegetables, and herbs. Ensure your fillings are evenly distributed throughout the casserole for a consistent flavor experience.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough and dense casserole. Mix the ingredients gently until just combined to maintain a light and fluffy texture.
  • Bake until golden brown: Keep an eye on the casserole as it bakes to prevent overcooking. The top should be golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  • Let it rest before serving: Allow the casserole to cool slightly before serving. This will help it set and make it easier to slice and serve. Garnish with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of cheese for an extra touch of flavor.
