REC Corn Cassarole (with chiles)
Or how far can you go with someone else's recipe before it's your own?
Corn Casserole From Fannie Flagg's Whistle Stop Cafe Cookbook, as amended by yers truly yield: 9-12 servings 1 17-ounce can white cream-style corn 1 11-ounce can white shoepeg or whole kern corn, drained 1 8-ounce carton sour cream 2 eggs, beaten 1/2 cup margarine, melted & cooled 1 8&1/2-ounce box corn muffin mix Preheat oven to 350F. Combine first 5 ingredients, mixing well. Stir in corn muffin mix. Pour into a greased 12x8x2 inches baking dish and bake for 45 minutes. Notes: I use low fat sour cream so I can use real butter and not margarine. I like a prettier, deeper casserole dish. I like to use 1 cup or 2 ears corn lightly roasted/toasted instead of the canned whole corn to add a smoky flavor. I also add about 2 tablespoons of pico de gallo for a southwestern flair and a little heat. That's one icecube frozen Might be nice with a sprinkle of hot or mild paprika on top or stir a little cumin or powdered chipotle in the dish. This is GREAT with about a half cup of fresh roasted peeled chopped Hatch chile. I suppose one could stir in a great many things which makes this one nice, including leftover chicken or ham or sliced pimentos. My foodie friends will scorn me and make their own favorite corn bread recipe. Y'all go ahead on, I was real tired tonight. Edrena |

This might be a place where you'd garnish with a light hand. Cheese sounds good, esp. with chiles of any kind. The DH whooped tonight when he bit into some chiles. He said he should have expected it! I had to cook it an extra 15 min - I still have a problem with the altitude up here. Edrena, bin living here 25 years already. |

My sil asked me to pick up shoepeg corn for my mil because that was something she would eat. I asked her to spell it because I had no idea what she was talking about. Seems it's available in cans, I don't know if I've seen it anywhere else. nancy |

Ah, I'll look for it, since fresh corn season is winding down. My sil is in Michigan, sometimes they have stuff that I'd never heard of, so when she said shoepeg, I said, Shoe? Like the footwear? At any rate, it seems my inlaws would open a can whereas frozen bags of vegetables would sit there for months. Canned it was, whatever got them to eat. nancy |

Shoepeg seems less starchy than the "fatter" corn. gloria p |

I'm talking niblets or kernels here. Commercial frozen corn *on* the cob is just disgustingly tough and tasteless and just not something I buy. |

I find that appearance matters too. I've seen some off-brands, or old name brands with visible freezer burn. Of course, I'd *never* keep anything that long, oh no. I distrust packages where I can't see the stuff inside, but sometimes it can't be helped. I now know that freezing does not mean suspended animation. I try to use up w/i 3 months. Mostly I like frozen over canned, but I keep both just cause I don't trust the power outages from time to time. Edrena |

A fooventurer? Culinturer? Adinfooder? Pretty simple: 1 can drained whole-kernel corn 1 can (undrained) cream-style corn 2 1/2 C. very finely crushed Saltine (soda) crackers, divided 2 XL or Jumbo eggs, beaten 2 C. milk (I use skim, but you could use 2% or whole) 2 small onion, finely diced 2 T. parsley flakes 1/2 tsp. garlic powder Small amount of salt (the crackers will give it salt) Pepper to taste - about 1/2 tsp. Generously butter a 2-quart oven-proof casserole. Melt about 3 T. butter in a small saute pan over low heat, and stir in 1/2 C. crumbs. Stir the crumbs around with a fork until they are coated and starting to get hot. Remove from heat. Heat the corn, milk and seasonings in a large saucepan, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. When the mixture is very hot (but not simmering or boiling), remove the pan from the heat, and quickly mix in the 2 beaten eggs and 2 C. cracker crumbs. Pour mixture into prepared casserole dish, and sprinkle the buttered 1/2 C. crumbs over the top. Heat at 350 deg. for 30 minutes, and serve immediately. N. |
