This recipe was given to me at a family reunion. It is not a very healthy recipe so I have made it using reduced or fat free of the soup, cream cheese and sour cream and it tasted just as good!

A wonderful friend from California gave me this recipe when I got married and wasn't very experienced with cooking. This made me feel like I could actually learn to cook. Thanks Brenda!

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb ground hamburger
1 can(s) whole kernal corn
1 can(s) 15 oz. tomato sauce
1 c picante sauce
1 Tbsp chili powder
1 Tbsp cumin
1 carton low fat cottage cheese
2 eggs beaten
1/4 c grated parmesan cheese
1 tsp oregano
1/2 stick garlic salt
12 corn tortillas
1 c shredded cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Brown meat; drain, add corn, tomato sauce, picante sauce, chili powder and cumin. Simmer stirring frequently 5 minutes.
  • 2. Combine cottage cheese, eggs, parmesan cheese, oregano and garlic salt. Mix well.
  • 3. Arrange 6 tortillas on bottom and up sides of 13x9 pan overlapping as necessary. Top half the meat mixture. Spoon cheese mixture over meat. Arrange remaining tortillas over cheese overlapping as necessary. Top with remaining meat mixture. Bake in preheated oven at 375* about 30 minutes. Remove and sprinkle with cheese. Let stand 10 minutes until cheese melts. Serve with additional picante sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose the right corn: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh, sweet corn kernels. If fresh corn is not available, frozen or canned corn can be used, but make sure to drain and rinse them before adding them to the casserole.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: A combination of different cheeses, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, and Parmesan, adds flavor and richness to the casserole. You can also add other cheeses, such as pepper Jack or queso fresco, to taste.
  • Don't overcook the casserole: The casserole should be cooked until the corn is tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Overcooking can make the corn tough and the cheese rubbery.
  • Add some spice: If you like a little heat, add some diced jalapeƱos or chili peppers to the casserole. You can also add a teaspoon of chili powder or cumin for a smoky flavor.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Mexicorn casserole is delicious on its own, but it can also be served with a variety of toppings, such as salsa, sour cream, guacamole, or shredded lettuce.

Conclusion:

Mexicorn casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. It is also a great dish to serve at parties or potlucks. With its combination of sweet corn, creamy cheese, and flavorful spices, Mexicorn casserole is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
