Creamy and delicious! This Cheesy Corn Casserole is my favorite side dish. It’s simple to make and so full of flavor, a real must try.

Anything with that is made with melted cheese is going to be good! My entire family loves cheese in all different forms. It was actually pretty hard to put this meal together without little fingers reaching for shredded cheese and sticking their fingers in the cream cheese. When cooking with cheese the family is usually banded from the kitchen otherwise we would have not cheese left to cook with! Seriously check out all my cheesy recipes next. They are all wonderfully cheesy!

Can I use frozen corn?

For this recipe you could use frozen corn but you would want to cook it ahead of time and drain it well. Adding frozen worn to the butter and cream cheese would cook the corn in the pot but it would also add way to much water to your casserole. To use it just cook it first then drain well and add it in the same time you could the can corn.

Can I use fresh corn?

To use fresh corn you can shuck corn on the cob to use. This can be added to the pot right away but it could take a little longer to cook then the can. To get soft corn like cans I would try boiling the corn before shucking it then add it to the casserole.

    Can frozen corn be substituted for the canned corn?

    Yes you can use frozen corn. To make sure that it does’t get to watery I would boil them first then drain them and then follow the rest of the directions. Hope you enjoy the recipe Patti!

    We aren’t fans of chilies (or any peppers for that matter) so I was wondering what you would suggest for a substitute?

    Hi Erin, to give this a little more flavor without the chilis you could try adding cumin, cayenne pepper, or even just some paprika. Maybe just a small amount of one once everything is cooked and then just season to taste.
