Creamy and cheesy corn casserole! This is a super deluxe version of creamed corn.
If you’re looking for a really super corn side dish for the holidays, look no further!
This casserole is packed with corn, bell peppers and tons of cheddar cheese. It actually could be a vegetarian meal all by itself.
It’s easy to assemble–open a few cans, crush a few crackers, chop some veggies, and you’re done.
This casserole has the consistency of creamed corn–it is one of the ingredients–but as it sits, it will begin to become more compact, giving it the texture similar to corn bread. It can be served piping hot or warm, but either way, it’s delicious.
You can get really fancy here if you want. Use more and different veggies. Add some bacon or ham. Doing these things gives you a complete and tasty meal. Kielbasa or smoked sausage added would be really nice too. This is something you can dress up or down, which makes it very versatile.

I love your last recipe for a sugarless desert, is there any way that I can get some more. Don’t get me wrong I’ve loved our recipes in the past and have made many of them. The problem is for me is that the Doc. said I’m border line Diabetic . Thank GOD I do not take shots for it . But I do love your recipes. Thank You
My sister’s husband is diabetic–she often substitutes stevia for the sugar in my stuff and most others too. Of course the flour & other starches have to be evened out as far as exchanges go with other choices for the day. Several friends have diabetes too–and feared the shots, but curiously, when some of them had to end up doing that, they actually preferred it. They never said why (I didn’t ask).
