Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork sausage
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 2 cups, frozen or fresh whole kernel corn
- 1 15-ounce can cream-style corn
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon ground paprika
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 cup plain breadcrumbs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with a light coat of butter or non-stick spray.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground pork sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. Remove the sausage from the skillet with a slotted spoon and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring to combine. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, onion, garlic, whole kernel corn, cream-style corn, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and paprika until well blended.
Pour the egg and milk mixture into the sausage and corn mixture, stirring to evenly coat all ingredients.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out into an even layer.
In a small bowl, melt the butter and toss it with the breadcrumbs. Sprinkle the buttered breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the casserole.
Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the breadcrumbs.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
