🌽 Enjoy the rich, cheesy goodness of Fiesta Corn Casserole, a perfect side with a spicy twist.
πŸ§€ This easy-to-make casserole combines sweet corn and cream cheese for a creamy, flavorful dish that complements any meal.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

– 2 packs (12 oz each) frozen corn

– 1 block (8 oz) cream cheese, cubed

– 2 cups shredded Cheddar Jack cheese, divided

– 1 red bell pepper, diced

– 1 teaspoon salt

– 1 teaspoon black pepper

– 1 teaspoon paprika

– 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

1-First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 2-quart casserole dish.

2-In a large skillet over medium heat, combine the frozen corn, diced red bell pepper, salt, black pepper, paprika, butter, and cream cheese. Cook until the corn is tender and the cream cheese has fully melted, stirring occasionally to blend the flavors.

3-Once that’s done, remove the mixture from the heat and stir in half of the shredded Cheddar Jack cheese. This helps create that gooey, cheesy layer inside. Transfer everything to your prepared casserole dish and top it with the remaining shredded cheese for a golden finish.

4-Pop it in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let it cool for a minute before serving warm this step lets the flavors settle and makes it easier to dish out. Whether you’re a baking enthusiast or a newbie, this guide keeps things easy and approachable.
