Cream Cheese Corn Casserole

Dive into the world of Cream Cheese Corn Casserole, a dish that combines the comforting textures of cream cheese with the sweetness of corn, all baked to a golden perfection.

 

Equipment

Baking Dish 8 x 8 Glass (w/lid)

Measuring cups and spoons

Grater(s)

Ingredients

  • 1 8-ounce package cream cheese, cubed and at room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons butter salted OR unsalted
  • ⅓ cup milk
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 18-ounce bag frozen sweet corn, thawed
  • Diced pickled jalapeños to taste (OPTIONAL)
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

How to Make Cream Cheese Corn Casserole

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. In a medium pot set over low heat, melt cream cheese and butter. Stir in milk until mixture is smooth and creamy. Stir in salt, pepper, corn, and (if using) jalapeños.
  • Pour corn mixture into an 8- by 8-inch square (or 2-quart) baking dish. Sprinkle with grated cheddar. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden and bubbly.

Notes:

  • An 18-ounce bag of frozen corn is equivalent to approximately 4 cups of corn, once you measure it out. You could also substitute two 15-ounce cans of corn (drained) in this recipe, which equal about 4 cups as well. That being said, I highly recommend using frozen corn instead of canned for better flavor in this recipe.
  • The melted butter and cream cheese may seem lumpy as you try to stir them together, but once you stir in the milk, the mixture should become smooth.

  • 4 tablespoons taco seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons garlic powder

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • Vegetable oil, for frying


👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Mix the Patty Mixture

  1. In a large bowl, combine:

    • Drained salmon

    • Lime juice

    • Crushed crackers

    • Black beans

    • Corn

    • Mayonnaise

    • Eggs

    • Minced onion

    • Chopped cilantro

    • Diced jalapeños

    • Taco seasoning

    • Garlic powder

    • Salt and pepper

  2. Mix gently until everything is evenly combined.

  3. If mixture feels too loose, add more crushed crackers until it holds together.


Step 2: Form the Patties

  1. Using your hands, shape the mixture into 6 evenly sized patties.

  2. Make them thick enough to hold together but not so large that they won’t cook through.

  3. Optional: Chill patties in the fridge for 10–15 minutes for better stability.


Step 3: Fry the Patties

  1. Heat enough vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat to coat the bottom.

  2. Carefully place patties into hot oil.

  3. Fry for 3–4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.

  4. Use a spatula to flip carefully to maintain shape.


Step 4: Drain & Serve

  1. Remove patties from skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

  2. Serve hot with:

    • Cilantro cream sauce

    • Salsa or ranch

    • Fresh salad or grilled veggies


🌟 Tips for Success

  • Ensure salmon is well-drained so patties hold together.

  • Adjust jalapeño seeds to control heat.

  • Use enough oil to prevent sticking and ensure even browning.

  • Leftovers reheat well: re-sear in a skillet for crispness.


🍽 Serving Suggestions

  • Serve in tacos or wraps with fresh veggies.

  • Pair with cilantro-lime rice for a full meal.

  • Top with avocado slices or a dollop of yogurt for creaminess.
