Recipe Tips
- Double the Recipe. If you are serving this during the holidays or for a crowd, it is easy to double.
- Cracker topping. You can omit this if you do not care for the crumb topping. However, do not omit the crackers inside the filling. It helps to thicken the casserole.
Variations
- Green chilies. Drain a can of green chilies and combine with the corn. This will add a little bit of heat.
- Diced ham. Chop up ham and mix with the corn. Leftover roast turkey is another great option to use up leftover turkey from Thanksgiving or Easter.
- Bacon. Top with crispy bacon along with the cracker topping.
- Fresh or frozen corn. Either option is delicious. If using frozen, thaw and drain it first. Otherwise, the extra liquid will change the texture.
- Crushed Saltine Crackers or Butter crackers. Both of these cracker options pairs nicely with corn. If you prefer a butter taste, use Ritz. You can also top with Panko breadcrumbs.
- Frozen peas and carrots. Toss in extra veggies to change the flavor. You can also add in bell pepper.
