Jalapeno-Corn Casserole image

I've had this at potlucks and barbecues. I tend to make it a little hotter, using 2 to 3 jalapenos, but I am a fire-eater! I'm not sure where the recipe originated, but I got it from my friend Lori. I've made a few changes to it due to personal preferences. This recipe is easily halved. Great use for leftover rice....just eliminate step 1 in the directions.

I'm not a big fan of jalapenos, but I still really enjoyed this casserole. The cornbread topping is so good that it makes up for the spice of the jalapenos.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover corn on the cob. I also like to add a can of black beans or diced tomatoes for extra flavor.
