Take-out Tuesday, Cheesy Zucchini, Corn, & Bacon Casserole

I hope you had a wonderful Memorial Day if you are in the USA!

We celebrated with family and friends at the beach,

with lots of great weather and food ~

I made a zucchini casserole for a side dish one night

This casserole features many favorite ingredients,

Summer corn and zucchini, bacon, and pimiento cheese

It’s hard to beat this combination of flavors!

Cook the bacon first so you can use the drippings

to saute the onions and corn

Saute the onion and when it is transparent,

add a garlic clove, stir well and then add zucchini

Then stir in fresh corn, cut off the cob, bacon pieces and pimiento cheese

I used this Pawley’s Island SC Palmetto Cheese,

It is most delicious and an acceptable substitute

for homemade Pimiento Cheese I think

I also used a 6 cheese Italian Blend

Season with salt and pepper

Stir everything together to mix in cheeses

Transfer mixture to a sprayed or greased casserole dish

Beat eggs

Pour the eggs over zucchini mixture in casserole, and stir

At this point you can cover casserole and refrigerate it

for baking later if desired

Bake it uncovered at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes until set

    Oh my, my taste buds are watering! I love that Palmetto pimento cheese brand. I’ve been snacking urgently on the jalapeño version. It would be good in this casserole too! Pinned!

    I am saving this recipe for July when the zucchini crop in New Jersey threatens to overtake the whole state.

    Love your combo of ingredients Jenna! Palmetto Cheese is a staple in our fridge 🙂 I hope you had better weather at the beach than we did here, it was a wash out! Happy Tuesday. ♥

    • Thanks Mary, I like to have it on hand too. Sorry about your weather, I was thinking about you ☔️ We had beautiful weather but it looks like we might get some rainy windy weather the next few days from that disturbance in the Gulf…watch out I think it’s going to impact you eventually too~
