Very easy and quick to make. Made it in the morning and took to a potluck lunch. There were no leftovers!
can frozen corn be used?
Hi Janice, yes you can use frozen corn.
Could I make a larger batch and freeze for quick reheating at another meal? Would the milk and cream cheese freeze well?
Yes you can. There will probably be some separation but just stir and it should come together.
This is delicious! Love this recipe. What do you think about adding all the ingredients to a crockpot at once and letting it cook for a few hours?
I haven't tried it but I'm sure it would work!
Hi Amy! What do you think about adding some diced tomatoes and either ground chicken or Turkey to this? Just trying to make it a full meal!
Both would be delicious added to the casserole!
Kick it up a notch or 2. I add 4 oz each of finely grated pepper jack and Monterey jack cheeses.
Great!!
Loved it and so simple to make!
I've been making this recipe for years - the family all loves it! If you ever get the chance, I highly recommend trying it with world-renowned Hatch green chile! Fresh is best, but frozen (thawed before use) works well also. Just stumbled onto your site looking for an actual recipe for a co-worker, and we have a few things in common! I look forward to perusing more!
This looks great. Looking for something just like this to go with turkey for Christmas. I am wondering what a few bread crumbs browned on top would add to it? I will get back and rate it for you after I try it. Merry Christmas.
I think that it sounds delicious 🙂
