cheese and corn casserole, need recipe

18 years ago

Hello. I am looking (and looking and loo.....) for a tried and true cheesy corn casserole that isn't full of a million sticks of butter, five pots of sour cream or ten gallons of bacon drippings. I've looked online, but there just seems to be the same recipe over and over again. Anything without cracker crumbs would be great.

I figure it would be simple...you know, cheese, flour, eggs, fresh corn and maybe some corn meal or even some milk...

but I'm not sure I'm brave enough to throw one together without a recipe.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a bunch!

I went looking too and found this one from Moosewood Restaurant. I have always had good luck with their recipes. It's for a crowd but looks very healthy.

Corn and Cheese Pudding Recipe

From Moosewood Restaurant Cooks For A Crowd (John Wiley & Sons)

This makes enough to feed a crowd, but you can cut it down to suit your needs by simple division.

INGREDIENTS:

* 18 large eggs or 4-1/2 cups
* 1 cup white flour
* 2-1/4 quarts milk
* 1 tablespoon salt
* 1 teaspoon black pepper
* 2 tablespoons dried dill
* 3 quarts frozen or fresh corn (3 pounds, 8 ounces)
* 1/2 cup vegetable oil
* 3 quarts onions, finely chopped (3 pounds)
* 2 quarts carrots, grated (2 pounds, 8 ounces)
* 2-1/4 quarts green or red bell peppers, finely chopped (2 pounds, 8 ounces)
* 2 quarts sharp Cheddar cheese, grated (1 pound, 8 ounces)
* Hot sauce (optional)

PREPARATION:

In several batches in a commercial blender, combine the eggs, flour, milk, salt, pepper, dill, and half the corn.

Reserve other half of the corn.

Saute the onions in vegetable oil until they are translucent. Add the carrots and peppers and saute until softened, for about 10 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine the blended ingredients, the sauteed vegetables, the remaining corn, and the cheese. Divide the mixture among four lightly oiled pans (half-size insert pans, 2 inches deep). Bake, uncovered, for about 35 minutes, until golden and firm. Cut each pan into 6 servings and top with hot sauce if desired.

Yield: 24 (10-ounce) servings

This sounds delicious!! And only 1/2 a cup of oil to 18 eggs?! That would cut down nicely in a small-batch recipe.
Thank you for posting this, I must not have looked in the right spot...actually, I googled it and wound up with recipes that didn't suit my taste.
Thanks again and I'll post back once I make it so others know what it turned out like!

T & T Chicken Tortilla (corn) Casserole Recipe?
Q
Comments (8)
I like this one better than any I've tried. It's purloined from the homesick texan blog. I do use fewer tortillas. Just a matter of preference. Slightly Fancy-Pants King Ranch Chicken Casserole Ingredients: 1 1/2 pounds of chicken, without skin and bones 4 teaspoons of lime juice 1/4 cup of olive oil 3 cloves of garlic, minced 4 tablespoons of butter 1/2 an onion, diced 1 red bell pepper, diced 1 poblano pepper, diced 1 10oz. can of Ro-Tel tomatoes, drained (or you can use a can of regular diced tomatoes and a 4 oz. can of diced green chiles, or if tomatoes are in season, can use two cups of diced fresh tomatoes with 1/4 cup of diced green chiles, such as a jalapeno) 4 teaspoons ancho chile powder (or chili powder) 1 teaspoon of cumin 1 cup of chicken broth 2 tablespoons of flour 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper 1/2 cup of half and half 1/3 cup of sour cream 1/2 cup of cilantro, chopped 3 cups of grated pepper jack and cheddar 10 corn tortillas Salt and pepper to taste. Method: 1. Season the chicken with the lime juice, 2 teaspoons of ancho chile powder and a dash of salt. In a skillet heated on medium, cook the chicken in the olive oil on each side for about 10 minutes. 2. When chicken is done (after about 20 minutes), shred it with two forks and set aside. Taste and see if it needs more salt and pepper. Should yield about 3 cups. 3. Melt the butter in a saucepan on medium, and add the onions, red bell pepper and poblano pepper. Cook for 10 minutes. 4. Add the garlic, flour, cumin, cayenne pepper and 2 teaspoons of ancho chile powder, and cook for 1 minute. 5. Add the chicken broth and cook on low until mixture is thickened, a few minutes. Stir in the half-and-half and Ro-Tel cover the pot, and simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. 6. Uncover the pot, and add the sour cream, 2 teaspoons of lime juice and 1/4 cup of cilantro, and add salt and pepper to taste. Turn off heat. 7. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. 8. Heat up the tortillas (you can do this by adding a bit of oil on an iron skillet and then cooking the tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side). 9. Ladle 1/2 cup of the sauce onto the bottom of an 11 x 7 inch baking pan. Layer half the tortillas along the bottom of the pan (on top of the sauce). To make sure entire pan is evenly covered, you can rip some of the tortillas into strips to fill any gaps. Add half the chicken, half the remaining sauce, half the remaining cilantro and 1 1/2 cups of grated cheese. Repeat the layering, leaving the cheese layer on top. Cook uncovered for 30 minutes or until brown and bubbling. Serves 6-12, depending on how big a portion you distribute. Goes great with sour cream and cilantro on top.

Easily 8 big pieces and more if you cut them smaller. It's so easy and I always have the ingred. on hand. Hope you like it. My yoga teacher has made it with chicken instead of hamburger and said it was great that way too since she tried it when I made it my way so I'm sure you can substitute around with what you'd like.

I do a corn casserole like this.
One #2 can of creamed corn
One small can (8 oz) regular corn ( or a cup of frozen corn thawed)
One small onion finely chopped ( about 3 Table spoons)
2 eggs beaten with
1 cup of milk..
2/3 cup shredded Swiss cheese
2/3 cups fat free saltine crumbs or 2/3 cups home made hread crumbs.
Mix all and put into an 8 by 8 pan and bake at 350 for 35 to 45 minutes until set.
Sorry about the cracker crumbs but I like it a lot better than those made with flour as they can get "cakey"...this one is plainly a cheesy corn casserole. If you want to you can add half a stiuck of butter and use cream instead of milk....but it's pretty darned good without all the added fat.

This one is fantastic, I make it several times a year. I use frozen white corn -- the tiny shoepeg kind is great, maybe that is a Green Giant brand.

Savory Corn Pudding

Ingredients:

2 cups frozen white corn, thawed (shoepeg is best)
4 whole eggs (or 2 eggs and 4 egg whites)
1 Â½ cups grated white cheddar cheese (I use Cabot)
1/3 white flour
1 TBSP white sugar
Â½ tsp. salt
Pepper to taste
1-cup whole milk (can use 2%)
1 cup heavy cream (can use 1/2 & 1/2 or fat free 1/2 & 1/2)
Chopped fresh chives or green onion (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl combine all the ingredients, except corn. Stir well to combine. Add thawed frozen corn, stir to combine. Pour in a baking dish lightly sprayed with cooking spray, or buttered. Place in the oven and bake for one hour, until golden and not quite set in the middle. Remove from oven. Pudding will continue to firm up as it cools. Serve as a side dish, sprinkle with chopped chives or green onions if desired.

Enjoy!
