How to make Corn Casserole: (scroll down for full recipe):

Ingredients:

• Cream Style Corn
• Whole Kernel Corn
• Eggs
• Butter
• Italian seasoning 
• Garlic Power
• Onion Powder
• Salt and Pepper 

Instructions: 

Step One: Preheat oven to 350°F and spray a 9×13 baking dish with non-stick spray. Set the baking dish aside.

Step Two: Melt the butter in the microwave. This should take about 40-45 seconds. Then in a separate bowl whisk the two eggs.

Step Three: In a medium sized mixing bowl stir together the cans of corn, eggs, butter, Italian seasoning, garlic powder and onion powder, salt and pepper.

Step Four: Transfer the corn mixture into the prepared baking dish.

Step Five: Crush the Ritz cracker into a separate mixing bowl and toss in the melted butter until evenly coated. 

Step Six: Sprinkle butter coated crackers over the corn mixture. And place in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the crackers are golden brown. 

Step Seven: Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and cracked black pepper if desired. 

Substitutions and Variations:

• Swap the can of Whole Kernel Corn for a third can of Cream Style Corn or for  even two cans of whole kernel corn and one of cream style. 
• Leave out the Italian Seasoning if you want the casserole to have a slightly sweeter flavor. 
• Add a half teaspoon of Paprika to give the casserole a little smokey flavor. 
• You can swap the Ritz crackers for any butter cracker or even saltine crackers.

My Notes and Tips:

• I like to finely crush most of the crackers but then reserve a few to break into larger pieces. It makes for a prettier presentation and the larger crackers become crisper in the oven.
• Whisking the eggs before you add them to the corn mixture will help make sure they blend evenly with the other ingredients. 
• You can line your baking dish with foil then spray with non-stick spray to make clean-up faster and easier.

Happy Cooking Y’all!
