• Customize the Flavor: Want to spice things up? Add a pinch of chili powder, some mild diced green chiles, or seeded chopped jalapeños to this corn casserole for a little extra flavor.
• Add Bacon: Sprinkle chopped crispy turkey bacon on top for extra savory goodness. See our post on how to cook turkey bacon in the oven.
• Make Corn Muffins: You can make corn muffins with this recipe instead of a corn casserole if you prefer. Lightly spray a muffin pan with oil and fill each muffin cup about 2/3 of the way full. Then, bake the muffins at 350°F for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once done, allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This recipe makes between 12-15 muffins.
