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.
