Three-Pepper Corn Casserole image

Chipotle chiles and pepper jack cheese bring the perfect note of heat to this creamy casserole. Good quality frozen corn makes a big difference here, as some brands tend to be starchy with little flavor.

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for baking dish, plus 6 tablespoons melted and cooled
1 1/2 cups chopped yellow onion (from 1 large onion)
1 cup chopped green bell pepper (from 1 large pepper)
1 tablespoon minced garlic (from 3 cloves)
1 chipotle in adobo, minced with liquid (to equal 1 tablespoon)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
4 cups frozen corn kernels, preferably organic, thawed
1/4 cup fine cornmeal
2 cups shredded pepper jack cheese
1/2 cup heavy cream
6 large eggs
Salsa, cilantro sprigs and sour cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 2-quart baking dish and set aside.
  • In a medium skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Add onion and pepper and cook, stirring often, until golden brown and caramelized, about 8 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add chipotle and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a large bowl to cool to room temperature.
  • Puree 3 cups corn in a food processor or blender until very smooth. Transfer to bowl with onion mixture. Stir in 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, cornmeal, remaining cup corn, and cheese. In a separate bowl, whisk together 6 tablespoons melted butter, cream and eggs just until combined. Fold into corn mixture. Pour batter into prepared dish and bake on a rimmed baking sheet until puffed and golden and the center jiggles slightly, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes. Serve with salsa, cilantro and sour cream.

This casserole was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably won't be making it again.
