Categories     Corn

Time 3h10m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 (14 ounce) cans white corn, drained (preferably shoepeg)
2 (4 ounce) cans diced green chilies (if you live in NM, use a pint of frozen, roasted, chopped green chile's like Bueno, I prefer mild)
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter

Steps:

  • Place all ingredients in slow cooker and cook on low for 3 hours.
  • This can also be baked in the oven at 350 for 30-40 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn: Fresh corn kernels give the casserole a sweeter, more flavorful taste. If you're using frozen corn, thaw it completely before adding it to the casserole.
  • Don't overcook the corn: Overcooked corn will become tough and chewy. Cook the corn just until it is tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: Using a combination of cheeses, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, and Parmesan, will give the casserole a richer, more complex flavor.
  • Add some spice: To add a little kick to the casserole, add a pinch of chili powder, cumin, or cayenne pepper.
  • Top with crushed tortilla chips: Crushed tortilla chips add a crunchy texture and a delicious corn flavor to the casserole.

Conclusion:

Southwest-style corn casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion.
