Corn Casserole with bacon

I did not have the recipe in front of me. I should have started by melting the butter. Instead I started at step 2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Yes! Dry noodles

Put the noodles in the bottom (dry). Then put the cream corn in the pan.

Add cream style corn

Then dump the can of corn in.  Do NOT use frozen corn. You need the liquid from the can for the recipe.

Adding corn

Onions are optional but good at the same time.

Ah, Onions!

I guess the same thing can be said about the chopped garlic. As I've mentioned before, I almost always use onions and garlic.

Freshly chopped garlic

Everything is better with bacon.  We buy real bacon pieces but you could make your own too.

You are seeing two sticks of butter because I doubled the recipe. It worked out for me to melt it and add it in here.

That's a chunk of butter

But, it would have been easier and fewer dishes if I would have done this step first in the Copper Chef Square Pan.

Melted butter :^)

Mix everything together, cover and put in the oven for 30 minutes. (I always rinse the bottom of the cream corn cans with water and dump in the pan. This will add about 1/3 can of water.)

Stir and cover

Stir at 30 minutes. At this point, I added the cheese. I like a lot of cheese so I added extra.

Add cheese when you stir at 30 minutes

(I don't follow recipes very well.) Cool for 30 more minutes with the cover on the top.

Corn Casserole with Bacon!

In the past I've made this in a cake pan which has been very difficult to clean up.  Making it on the Copper Chef Square Pan was perfect. Clean up is a breeze.

This isn't something that fits well into my dietary needs but I make it as a special treat for Dale.
