Mexican Corn Casserole
This Mexican Corn Casserole is quick and easy to make. It makes a delicious side dish for a holiday dinner or Sunday Supper!
One of my family members asked me yesterday if I had any plans for Thanksgiving. Honestly, I had not even thought about it as it seems like Summer just ended. Then, I took a look at the calendar and realized Thanksgiving is just around the corner! How did that happen so fast? I know...it happens every year. The holidays just seem to sneak up. Well, this got me thinking about some of my favorite easy recipes to make and the first thing that came to mind is this Mexican Corn Casserole.
Speaking of the holidays...here are a few other favorites:
- Roasted Brussels Sprouts, Cranberries and Pecans with Balsamic Vinegar
- Sweet Potato Casserole with Praline Topping
- Roasted Vegetable Platter
Mexican Corn Casserole
I just love making this delicious dish. Mexican Corn Casserole has just eight ingredients, but it is so rich and tasty. It is always a hit a holiday dinner or Sunday Supper. Here is what you need to make it:
- Frozen Corn
- Red Bell Pepper
- Salt
- Pepper
- Paprika
- Butter
- Cream Cheese
- Mexican Blend Cheese
The Mexican Corn Casserole is super easy to make! Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees. Then, prepare a 2 quart casserole dish by greasing it with non-stick cooking spray. Next, heat up a large skillet on the cooktop on medium heat. Add in the frozen corn and red bell pepper and give it a stir.
Then, add in the seasonings, butter and cream cheese. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until corn is cooked through and cream cheese is melted.
Remove skillet from heat and stir in a cup of the cheddar jack cheese.
Then, pour corn mixture into prepared casserole dish and top with remaining cheese.
