Creamy Corn Macaroni n' Cheese image

This is such a simple idea, but is personally one of the best macaroni and cheese dishes I've had, even without a roux! Even if you aren't a fan of corn, you'll love this dish!

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 8 oz cans of creamed corn
1 c milk (whole if possible)
1/4 tsp onion powder
salt and pepper to taste
1 heaping Tbsp cornstarch
2 c elbow macaroni, uncooked
4 oz mild cheddar, freshly shredded
4 oz sharp cheddar, freshly shredded
12 oz mozzarella cheese, freshly shredded
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 1/2 c croutons (garlic butter work well), roughly crushed
1 Tbsp olive oil
sriracha

Steps:
