Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
- 1 cup Creamed corn
- 1 cup Evaporated milk
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 3 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 1 medium Green bell pepper, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking dish (about 8x8 inches or similar size) with butter or cooking spray and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the corn kernels, creamed corn, evaporated milk, grated cheese, and melted butter. Stir until well mixed.
In a small skillet, sauté the chopped onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Add this mixture to the bowl with the corn mixture and stir to combine.
In a separate small bowl, beat the eggs. Add the beaten eggs to the corn mixture, stirring quickly to incorporate.
Add the yellow cornmeal, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are fully combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle breadcrumbs evenly on top of the mixture for a crispy topping.
Optional: Lightly sprinkle paprika over the breadcrumbs for added color and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pie is set (you can check by inserting a knife; it should come out clean).
Remove the pie from the oven and let cool for about 5–10 minutes before serving. This allows the pie to firm up for easier slicing.
Serve warm as a hearty side dish to complement your favorite meat, poultry, or seafood entrée. Enjoy!
