Ingredients for Baked Corn Kid Friendly

  • Whole Kernel Corn
  • Instant Minced Onion

How to Make Baked Corn Kid Friendly

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Grease a 1-quart casserole dish.
  3. Drain the liquid from one (15 ounce) can of corn into a measuring cup. Reserve 1/3 cup of the corn liquid.
  4. Add enough milk to the reserved corn liquid to reach a total of 2/3 cup of liquid.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the drained corn, 2/3 cup milk mixture, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix until well combined.
  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving. Serves 4-6.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
