Take-out Tuesday, Cheesy Corn Comfort Casserole
My thoughts have been drifting to Fall foods and comfort dishes
and this recipe is a way to enjoy corn
when the fresh summer sweet ears are no longer available
It’s loaded with corn and green onions in a creamy cheese sauce,
and topped with buttery crackers, shaved Parmesan
and crispy fried onions
Whisk the eggs in a large measuring cup
and then add the evaporated milk,
salt and pepper and stir to blend
Put the corn and onions into a deep 8″ x 8″ greased casserole dish
Stir together to mix
Add the grated cheeses
I used a combo of Asiago and Gruyère
Mix in the cheese
Now pour the milk/egg mixture slowly overall
Gently stir to make sure the sauce is evenly distributed
Crush the crackers~
you can do this right in their paper sleeve
with your fingers or with a rolling pin
Then mix the crumbs into the melted butter
Cover the top of the casserole with the buttery cracker bits
Top with shaved Parmesan, or grated Parmesan, Asiago or Swiss
Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes
Top with fried onion pieces and return to oven for 3-5 minutes to heat
I like to use these Fresh Gourmet Crispy Onions
Look for them near the bottled salad dressings
Serve it up!
This makes 6 large or 8 smaller servings

Hi Jenna, Summer corn is here and I get it fresh from the farmer. This sounds like a wonderful recipe to try to make corn taste even better than it is by itself. Can’t wait to try it. It is a meal in itself. I definitely had to pin it.
Thanks so much Marsha, I love corn, in any way shape or form!
This looks wonderful! I always want to Pin your recipe but I can never find the links. If you do put them into the post please make them where they are noticeable because I don’t have time to look thru the photos or text 10X over attempting to locate it.
I’m sorry you’re having trouble pinning my recipes, and not sure why…I don’t have any trouble pinning them and they are printable. There is also a Pin it button right in the recipe. I hope this helps
This is a great recipe Jenna. I’m definitely pinning this for future use, especially holidays. Looks delicious……
