Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups frozen corn
  • 1 14.75 ounce can creamed corn
  • 1 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened (I just put mine in the microwave for about 1 minute to soften)
  • 1 4 ounce can green chilis, drained
  • 4 tablespoons butter divided
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped green or red peppers
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Pinch cayenne or black pepper Optional
  • 1 cup of crispy fried onions divided

Instructions

  • Brown onion and green or red peppers in skillet in one tablespoon of the butter.  Spray a 2 quart or larger baking dish with cooking spray,  combine the frozen corn, creamed corn, cream cheese, green chilis, the other 3 tablespoons butter (melted), green onion, green or red peppers, salt, paprika and cayenne or black pepper
  • Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 20 minutes.  Remove and stir 1/4 cup of the crispy fried onions into the casserole.  Add the remaining onions on top and bake for 20 more minutes or until onions are golden brown.  Makes 8 to 10 servings.

Notes

You could add meat to this dish and make it a meal.  Cooked meat like smoked sausage, chicken, turkey or ham would all be good in this dish. Bacon would be good, too.
