How to Make Cajun Corn Casserole

  1. Cook 1 cup of rice according to package directions with 2 tablespoons of butter and salt. Set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Melt 1 stick (8 tablespoons) of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, 2 (15-ounce) cans of drained whole kernel corn, the sautéed vegetables, and the minced jalapeño peppers.
  4. Stir in the cubed Velveeta cheese until melted and well combined.
  5. Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish.
  6. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
  7. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 45 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly. Add a few shakes of Louisiana hot sauce during the last 5 minutes of baking for extra flavor.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
