MEXICAN CORN CASSEROLE



Mexican Corn Casserole image

Wanted some Mexican sweet corn but didn't want to run to the market for fresh corn, so I used frozen kernels and it was delicious.

Provided by Elaine Laskowski

Categories     Side Casseroles

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 bag(s) frozen corn, thawed
2 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp mayonnaise
2 tsp cayenne pepper
salt and pepper to taste
1 c cotija or parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Cook frozen corn in the microwave as instructed.
  • 2. Mix in the butter and then the mayonnaise.
  • 3. Add the cayenne pepper about 2 teaspoons or to how much heat you want and then add the salt and pepper to taste.
  • 4. Mix in the crumbled Cotija or Parmesan cheese and microwave until heated through, about 4 minutes. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn: Fresh corn is the best choice for this casserole, as it has a sweeter flavor and more tender texture. If you don't have fresh corn, you can use frozen or canned corn, but be sure to drain it well before using.
  • Don't overcook the corn: Corn should be cooked until it is tender, but not mushy. Overcooked corn will make the casserole too soft.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: A combination of cheeses, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, and pepper Jack, will give the casserole a more complex flavor.
  • Add some spice: If you like spicy food, you can add some chopped jalapeños or chili peppers to the casserole. You can also use a spicy salsa or enchilada sauce.
  • Bake the casserole until it is golden brown: The casserole is done baking when it is golden brown on top and bubbly around the edges.

Conclusion:

Mexican corn casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover corn, and it can also be made ahead of time and reheated. With its creamy, cheesy, and flavorful sauce, this casserole is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a tasty and satisfying dish, give Mexican corn casserole a try!
