Living in the
south, creamed corn casserole is EVERYWHERE. Each pot-luck or gathering
we attend, corn casserole is a guaranteed guest. Now don't get me
wrong...I like it..a LOT. BUT...I think it could be helped along a
little bit. This California girl loves her some Mexican food so I
decided to create my own version of a corn casserole. It was delicious
but I think it could have used a bit more heat. Next time...I might try
throwing in a jalapeno along with the green chilies. Still, it was VERY
tasty and something we'll be having again!

Looks like a lot of ingredients, and it is.
But SO easy.
Throw everything EXCEPT THE
CHEESE into a large bowl.
Stir it up!
Dump it all into a greased casserole dish.
Bake it for a while...then top with the cheese.
Bake it a few minutes more to melt
the cheese then let it cool a bit...then chow down!
