Jalapeños Corn Casserole- A flavorful twist on corn casserole with garlic , jalapeños , bell pepper and onion – So uplifting, satisfying and a must for your thanksgiving table.
When I think of corn casserole, I think of THE ultimate comfort food, sure they taste good, but there is something more alluring about this casserole- something uplifting, satisfying and pleasurable to the soul and stomach. These are just a few of my thoughts about corn casserole, coupled with the thoughts of hundreds of people that have had the pleasure of digging in. I usually make this during the holidays – when calories don’t count …(that is what I say to anyone who starts mentioning calories). By the way I lightened it a bit with less butter and no cheese. This casserole is a holiday favorite of mind -it’s always a big hit! The kids really love it…and adults fight over it too- with so much goodies how can you turn it down!
It packs so many flavor and lends itself to so many variations – with so little work. I like my corn casserole with a southwest spin on it – chopped onions, Jalapenos, onions, bell pepper, and cayenne pepper.
Do double this recipe, if you are cooking for a large crowd. Throw some prepared sausage, bacon, or prosciutto on top, for those of you that want protein and salty garnish.
Enjoy it! Notes
