1 cup chicken stock
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
A small handful fresh cilantro leaves, plus a few leaves for garnishing
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons butter

MEXICAN CORN CASSEROLE



Mexican Corn Casserole image

Wanted some Mexican sweet corn but didn't want to run to the market for fresh corn, so I used frozen kernels and it was delicious.

Provided by Elaine Laskowski

Categories     Side Casseroles

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 bag(s) frozen corn, thawed
2 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp mayonnaise
2 tsp cayenne pepper
salt and pepper to taste
1 c cotija or parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Cook frozen corn in the microwave as instructed.
  • 2. Mix in the butter and then the mayonnaise.
  • 3. Add the cayenne pepper about 2 teaspoons or to how much heat you want and then add the salt and pepper to taste.
  • 4. Mix in the crumbled Cotija or Parmesan cheese and microwave until heated through, about 4 minutes. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the casserole will taste. Use fresh corn kernels, sweet peppers, and tomatoes. If you can, use fresh herbs like cilantro and parsley.
  • Don't overcook the corn: The corn should be tender but still have a slight crunch to it. Overcooked corn will be mushy and unpleasant.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: A combination of cheeses will give the casserole a more complex flavor. Try using a combination of cheddar, mozzarella, and Monterey Jack cheese.
  • Add some spice: If you like spicy food, add some diced jalapeños or chopped chili peppers to the casserole. You can also use a store-bought taco seasoning mix to add flavor.
  • Serve the casserole hot and fresh: Mexican corn casserole is best served hot and fresh out of the oven. You can also make it ahead of time and reheat it when you're ready to serve.

Conclusion:

Mexican corn casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up leftover corn and other vegetables, and it's always a hit with family and friends.
