CREAMY CHEESY CORN CASSEROLE

This casserole is the perfect comfort food for any occasion. It’ has sweet corn, cream cheese, butter, drowned in a rich sauce loaded with cheese, then covered with a crispy, buttery topping of crushed potato chips and baked until it’s golden and bubbly.

This corn casserole recipe using cream cheese instead of making a roux. It’s a simple, no-fail method for creamy corn.

TIPS AND SUBSTITUTIONS

I prefer frozen corn, but you can use fresh or canned (drained). You’ll need 18 to 20 ounces or about 4 cups of corn.
Additionally, you can use any variety of corn. I prefer sweet corn but use your favorite.
I recommend freshly ground black pepper versus black pepper that’s already ground. It makes a big difference in taste.
Furthermore, if you don’t have potato chips, you can use crushed butter crackers like Ritz, Townhouse, or Club.
If you want to kick this casserole up, add 2/3 cup bacon bits. You can either stir them in or spread them across the top.
Do you prefer spicy food? You can add cayenne pepper, hot sauce, or diced jalapenos to this corn casserole.
As well, you can mix up this recipe except for the potato chip topping and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours before baking it. Be sure to cover it tightly. Before you bake, add the crushed potato chips, and bake. If you don’t allow it to come to room temperature before baking, add 10 to 15 minutes to your cooking time.
Finally, you can also freeze it for up to three months. When you’re ready to bake it, thaw it overnight in the fridge, add the potato chips, and bake.
