Spicy Creamed Corn Crumble image

Inspired by elote (the Mexican street food dish made of grilled corn topped with mayo, chile powder, cheese and lime juice), this crumble is delightful in summer, and would go nicely with grilled chicken.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for the baking dish
6 to 8 ears of corn, kernels removed (about 4 cups) and juices scraped from the cobs and reserved
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup chopped pickled jalapenos
1 tablespoon sauce from canned chipotle in adobo
1/2 cup roughly chopped cilantro leaves
Kosher salt

Lime wedges, for serving

HABANERO HONEY SWEET CORN CAKE



Habanero Honey Sweet Corn Cake image

This habanero honey sweet corn cake is spicy, sweet, savory, dense, moist, and very addictive! I also had no idea what to call this, as it's not really a cake, but it's also not a pie, or a pudding, or a custard, so I ended up with "cake" since it's inspired by sweet Mexican corn cake. No matter what you call this, it's phenomenal! Garnish with fresh fruit and top with crème fraiche, sour cream, Mexican crema, or whipped cream and freshly grated lime zest.

SPICY MEXICAN CORNBREAD CASSEROLE



Spicy Mexican Cornbread Casserole image

Very quick, easy and inexpensive meal in one pan. My mom used to make this all the time and after a little experimenting I came up with my own version.

Provided by Ewalla

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 45m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (8 ounce) package cornbread mix
1 lb lean ground beef
1 1/4 ounces packaged taco seasoning
1 jalapeno, diced
1 medium onion, diced
1/2 green bell pepper, diced
1 (10 ounce) can rotel
2 ears corn on the cob, boiled and cut off the cob
2 cups shredded reduced-fat Mexican cheese blend
1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 (8 ounce) can creamed corn

Steps:

  • Preheat oven according to cornbread package. Grease casserole dish (I used 9 x 11 but a 9 x 13 inch should work too).
  • Brown meat with taco seasoning (I didn't use the whole pouch because the rotel adds some spiciness as well. I used about half a pouch) and drain off excess fat. Add onion and pepper and cook until tender. Add rotel, kidney beans, and corn and let simmer.
  • Meanwhile combine cornbread according to package directions. Add diced jalapeno and creamed corn.
  • Spoon thin layer of cornbread on the bottom of the pan. Top with meat mixture then add half of the cheese. Spoon the rest of the cornbread mixture on top and bake according to cornbread package. In the last 5 minutes of cooking top with the rest of the cheese and continue baking until cheese is melted.

Tips:

  • For the creamiest casserole, use heavy cream or whole milk instead of low-fat milk.
  • Don't overcook the corn. It should be tender but still have a slight crunch.
  • Use a variety of cheeses for a more complex flavor. A good combination is cheddar, mozzarella, and Monterey Jack.
  • Add some chopped green chiles or jalapeños for a spicier casserole.
  • Serve the casserole with a dollop of sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.

Conclusion:

This spicy Mexican corn casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a party or potluck. It is also a great way to use up leftover corn on the cob. With its creamy texture, cheesy flavor, and spicy kick, this casserole is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
