Visual Process for Making Corn Casserole
Step 1
Brown Bacon and Onions
I used turkey bacon but regular pork bacon will do. You want the onions to be translucent.
Step 2
Combine With Corn
In a bowl, mix the bacon and onions with creamed corn and regular sweet corn. Then stir in egg, milk and sour cream.
Step 3
Combine Dry Ingredients
We are making our own cornbread mix, so get all of that whisked together in a seperate bowl.
Step 4
Add to Buttered Casserole Dish
Add it to a buttered casserole dish. I used this 9-inch corningware dish.
Step 5
Bake and Top With Cheese
Bake this up and top it with cheese in the last 5 minutes.
