Corn Casserole


2 -12 Oz bags frozen sweet corn
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
1 – 8 Oz pkg onion and chive cream cheese spread, softened
1 can cream of celery

(if you want to add a bit of kick, add some finely chopped jalapenos and a sprinkle or two of cayenne)

Spray your casserole pan with nonstick spray.  Rinse frozen corn in colander to thaw slightly. Saute the onion and peppers in butter for about 5 minutes or until tender.

Mix remainder ingredients until smooth, add sauteed veggies and corn.

Depression Era Corn Chowder Recipe


 

  • 2 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans whole kernel corn
  • 1 large white onion, diced
  • 3 cups diced potatoes
  • 2 (12 fluid ounce) cans evaporated milk
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • salt and pepper to taste
  1. In a large pot over medium heat, combine broth, corn, onion and potatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer 15 to 20 minutes, until potatoes are just tender.
  2. Stir in evaporated milk and butter until butter is just melted. Season with salt and pepper and serve at once.
  3. I add chicken breast cubes (from 2 cooked chicken breasts) added in as a source of protein.  I also end up tripling the batch and serving with crunchy-crust french loaf bread.
