How to Make Cheesy Corn Bake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large Dutch oven or oven-safe skillet over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) of butter.
- Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, to the melted butter. Cook until the onions are softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour over the cooked onions and garlic. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Continue stirring until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low. Add 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, a little at a time, stirring constantly until completely melted and smooth.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of cooked ham, diced, and 2 cups of corn (fresh, frozen, or canned, drained).
- Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish.
- Bake for 45 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
- Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
