  • 1 Tbs granulated white sugar
  • ½ small yellow onion diced
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 Tbs yellow mustard
  • 1 Cup shredded sharp cheese divided in half
  • 2 15.5 oz Cans whole kernel corn drained
  • 4.5 oz chopped green chilis one small can
  • 6 lices Bacon cooked and crumbled, divided
  • ½ Cup Panko bread crumbs unflavored
  • 4 Tbs melted butter
  • ½ teaspoon paprika

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 325
  2. Spray a 9x9 square casserole dish with cooking spray or use shortening or butter to grease the pan.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs and sour cream together until well blended.
  4. Add the melted butter, sugar, onion, salt, pepper, mustard, ½ Cup cheese, corn, green chilis and ½ of the crumbled bacon.
  5. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of cheese over the top, then sprinkle the remaining bacon crumbles over the top.
  6. Mix 4 Tbs of melted butter with the Panko and gently sprinkle that over the top.  Dust with the paprika
  7. Bake for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Sometimes this puffs in the center as it cooks, that’s fine, just let it puff!

Notes

  • Beat the eggs well so that they become well incorporated into your dish
  • Bake this dish in the center of your oven so that it bakes evenly.
  • It is ok to leave out the onion if you have someone sensitive.  Add a teaspoon or two of onion powder to replace the onion.
  • This dish really needs the salt and pepper.  You will likely need even more than I stated in the recipe.
  • It is ok to substitute heavy cream for the sour cream, if that is what you have.  If you use heavy cream instead of sour cream, you might have to bake the dish a few minutes longer.
  • It is ok to substitute plain greek yogurt for the sour cream, but honestly, just use the sour cream.
  • You can substitute Dijon or whole grain mustard for the yellow mustard.
  • A word about cheese in this recipe.  The kind of cheese is very important.  You want cheese with a LOT of flavor. Please pick something like a Cabots or a “Helluva Good” cheese.  Don’t skimp, it’s important.
  • It is really important to spray your baking dish well with cooking spray before you start (or grease the dish, either way).
  • Please use a good quality bacon.  Something like a thick sliced, applewood smoked bacon is perfect!
  • Feel free to use WAY more paprika!
