Here's what you need: yellow rice, water chestnuts, butter, green giant mexi-corn, onion, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, cheddar cheese

Provided by Toni Flowers

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 package yellow rice
1 can water chestnuts, sliced, drained
1 stick butter
1 can green giant mexi-corn, drained (do not substitute whole yellow corn)
½ cup onion, finely chopped
1 carton sour cream
1 can cream of chicken soup
2 cups cheddar cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Cook rice according to package directions.
  • Chop water chestnuts into small dice.
  • Melt stick of butter in a 9 x 13-inch (22 x 33 cm) glass casserole dish.
  • Stir the rice, corn, onion, water chestnuts, sour cream, and cream of chicken soup together until mixed well. Pour mixture into casserole dish and spread it out evenly. The butter may spill onto the top of the casserole and that's fine.
  • Bake uncovered for at least 20 minutes. Depending on your oven it may need to cook longer if you have a cold cooking oven. The center of the casserole must reach a hot temperature to your touch.
  • Remove from the oven. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the casserole and cook for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted well.
  • I hope you enjoy our family favorite casserole! We take it to church dinners and never have any leftovers. It can be made ahead of time and frozen for cooking on those busy holidays!
  • Enjoy!

EASY BAKED CORN CASSEROLE



Easy Baked Corn Casserole image

So yummy and so easy. This is similar to sweet corn cake but cheaper. I bring this often to cook-outs in the summer, a big hit. (Note: frozen whole-kernel corn can be substituted for the canned.)

Categories     Corn

Time 1h10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (8 1/2 ounce) package corn muffin mix
1 (15 3/4 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 (14 3/4 ounce) can cream-style corn
1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 egg

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Coat a 2-quart casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients; mix well.
  • Pour into the casserole dish.
  • Cover and bake for 30 minutes.
  • Uncover and bake for 30 to 35 minutes more, or until set and the top is golden.
  • Also can be an OAMC recipe. Just mix the batter, put in a freezer bag and freeze.
  • Thaw, then cook per the listed directions.

Tips:

  • Use frozen corn. It's just as good as fresh corn, and it's much cheaper.
  • Add a can of cream corn. This will give your casserole a creamy, rich flavor.
  • Don't overcook the casserole. It should be cooked until the corn is heated through and the casserole is bubbly, but not so long that the corn becomes mushy.
  • Serve the casserole hot. It's best when it's fresh out of the oven.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Corn casserole is a delicious and budget-friendly side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give corn casserole a try. You won't be disappointed!
