Three-Pepper Corn Casserole image

Chipotle chiles and pepper jack cheese bring the perfect note of heat to this creamy casserole. Good quality frozen corn makes a big difference here, as some brands tend to be starchy with little flavor.

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for baking dish, plus 6 tablespoons melted and cooled
1 1/2 cups chopped yellow onion (from 1 large onion)
1 cup chopped green bell pepper (from 1 large pepper)
1 tablespoon minced garlic (from 3 cloves)
1 chipotle in adobo, minced with liquid (to equal 1 tablespoon)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
4 cups frozen corn kernels, preferably organic, thawed
1/4 cup fine cornmeal
2 cups shredded pepper jack cheese
1/2 cup heavy cream
6 large eggs
Salsa, cilantro sprigs and sour cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 2-quart baking dish and set aside.
  • In a medium skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Add onion and pepper and cook, stirring often, until golden brown and caramelized, about 8 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add chipotle and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a large bowl to cool to room temperature.
  • Puree 3 cups corn in a food processor or blender until very smooth. Transfer to bowl with onion mixture. Stir in 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, cornmeal, remaining cup corn, and cheese. In a separate bowl, whisk together 6 tablespoons melted butter, cream and eggs just until combined. Fold into corn mixture. Pour batter into prepared dish and bake on a rimmed baking sheet until puffed and golden and the center jiggles slightly, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes. Serve with salsa, cilantro and sour cream.

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the bacon from this recipe. It was still very good, but I think it would have been even better with the bacon.

This casserole was a bit too spicy for my kids, but my husband and I loved it. I think next time I'll use milder peppers.

This casserole was a bit too dry for my taste. I think next time I'll add some more milk or cream.

This casserole was a bit bland for my taste. I think next time I'll add some more spices, or maybe even some diced jalapenos.

This casserole was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll use milder peppers, or maybe even omit them altogether.

I'm not a big fan of corn, but I really enjoyed this casserole. The peppers and onions balanced out the sweetness of the corn, and the cheese made it extra creamy. I will definitely be making this again.

This was a great recipe! I used frozen corn and peppers, and it still turned out great. I also added a little bit of diced onion, and it gave it a nice extra flavor.

I've made this casserole several times and it's always a hit. It's easy to make and the leftovers are even better the next day. I usually add a little bit of shredded cheese to the top before baking, and it gives it a nice cheesy crust.
