Corn casserole with crispy fried onions is delicious.
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
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.
Note: 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.

I’ve been looking for this recipe for years. It’s in the oven now, I’m so excited to try it. The only thing I did different was to use canned corn.
This looks delicious! I do have a question though about the fried onions… It says to use 1 cup of crispy fried onions in the ingredient list. Then in the directions it states to stir 1 cup of the crispy fried onions into the casserole and add the remaining onions on top. How much crispy fried onion should be used in total then? I am thinking there may be a typo in either the ingredient list or the directions?
Thank you, Karen, for bring this to our attention. The recipe has been corrected. It is 1 cup of onions. Put 1/4 in the casserole and 3/4 on top.
I finally made this recipe and it was delicious! I will definitely be having this corn again for supper in the future.
My family likes spicy, so I mixed in 1/2 can of chopped jalapenos and sprinkled 1/4 c of dried jalapenos over the top. Family and guests really liked it to the bottom of the 0x13 bake dish!
So happy to hear you all enjoyed the recipe, Patsy!
I had this dish but it had corn bread in it Is there another one with that
ingredients in it?
I don’t have one on the site with cornbread in it.
I found this recipe recently, tried it last weekend and loved it. My family thought it was delicious and there were no leftovers. Great dish. I wouldn’t change a thing.
Thank you so much Susy. So happy you all enjoyed this recipe. Thank you for letting me know. Happy to have you on the site.
Can homomy and corn be ok
You can try it, Joann. I never have tried it that way.
This was a great recipe. All I had was a half a stick of cream cheese but it was still delicious.
Can green or reg. onions be used to mix with ingredients an put the can onions on top
Sure, you can do that Delores.

Then mix jiffy corn bread as told on box & pour over corn mixture& bake till C.B. Is brown (30) min. Don’t stir just pour batter over corn mix! Easy& good! U can add whatever u like to it!
Connie – I want to try your recipe as well !!
Can this be prepared ahead of time and put in the freezer to cook later?
I have not tried freezing it ahead of time. The only thing I can think of that would not work is the onions might become soggy. Guess you could add them later.
It looks easy to make. I am going to try it for thanksgiving. Hope it comes out nice!
Made this as a side dish to our ribeyes for my man and I…he loved it and even told his Mom who’s big into cooking that I would have to share the recipe with her!
So happy you all enjoyed this recipe, Amanda! Thank you for letting me know.
I made this corn casserole yesterday. There are just two of us, and we just finished it all today for lunch. It’s so good! I’ll be making it for Thanksgiving this year.
Can you use drained canned corn instead of frozen?
Yes, I think you could do that Deborah.
I just have to try this one. It looks and sounds so good. I so enjoy trying and pinning your recipes. And the Southern Thangs are
my kinds of Southern
Some of my kids do not like onions. I am going to try this with buttered Ritz crackers on top in lieu of onions.
