Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork sausage
- 2 cups sweet corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
- 1 15-ounce can cream-style corn
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 8-ounce package crescent roll dough
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and set it aside.
In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Use a spoon to break the sausage into crumbles. Remove the cooked sausage and set it aside, leaving about 1 tablespoon of grease in the skillet.
In the same skillet, sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic over medium heat until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, sautéed onion and garlic, sweet corn kernels, cream-style corn, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, melted butter, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well to combine.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg, flour, and milk to make a batter. Pour this into the sausage and corn mixture and gently stir to incorporate.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and place it evenly over the greased casserole dish to create a base layer.
Pour the sausage and corn mixture evenly over the crescent roll dough.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Slice into portions and enjoy!
