Scalloped Corn | Chickens in the Road

Nov
15

I love corn, especially fresh corn on the cob, and even more especially the sweet peaches and cream corn at the farmers market in Charleston. I eat it all summer long and miss it so bad when it’s gone. But, I saved some over, off the cob, in the freezer and made the next best thing to hot, sweet, buttered corn on the cob straight from the market–scalloped corn! It’s also, by the way, one of my favorite sides to fix for Thanksgiving. (How do you like to fix corn for Thanksgiving dinner?)

Here’s how I do it–and it’s so easy!

How to make Scalloped Corn:

1 cup chopped onions and/or peppers (hot or sweet)
2 tablespoons butter
1 egg
2/3 cup milk
1 cup bread crumbs
1 15-ounce can creamed corn
1 15-ounce can corn
1 cup shredded cheese

(Note: I used my fresh-frozen corn in place of the can of regular corn in this recipe.)

Cook the onions and peppers in butter till tender. Combine egg, milk, bread crumbs, and a dash of pepper in a large bowl.

Stir in the onion/pepper mixture, the corn, and half of the shredded cheese. (Note that I didn’t use any onions. Princess cries and CRIES in pain if I try to put onions in anything.) Pour into a 1.5 quart greased casserole dish.

Toss with remaining shredded cheese.

I like to decorate with a little bit of chives, too.

Bake at 350-degrees for 35 minutes.

Mmmmm!!!

Another quick, easy-to-prepare recipe! And yummy looking, too. Thanks so much. I’m gathering a tidy little stack of recipes from you, and the ones we’ve tried so far have all been successes. Especially the baked goods!

Have a nice weekend.

Hi Suzanne,
I make scalloped corn every Thanksgiving ~ however, my recipe is a bit different than yours. I use fresh and creamed corn, butter (almost a whole stick), 1 cup of broken spaghetti (1/2″ pcs.) and a little onion & cheddar cheese. I’ve had this recipe for almost 20 years! Love it!

We make something similar – but omit the cheese and add a whole stick of butter. It comes out like a souffle/casserole.

I am definitely using cheese this year tho’ – that looks delicious. The chives are a great touch too.

Yummmm… That looks fantastic!

I miss our Farmer’s Market too. That’s where I bought my goat’s cheese! I’m missing it so much that I have hunted down a woman who raises Nigerian Dwarfs! She told me to contact her in the spring about getting a girl to milk. The herbed chevre I had been getting at the market is TO DIE FOR! This woman was also tossing out all these obscure little milk-goat tips too, like:
* Don’t let them eat any alfalfa for (I don’t remember the time period – seems like it was a couple hours) because it makes the milk taste “off” and more “goaty.” She said that if you do that, you can hardly tell the difference between goat’s milk and cow’s milk for drinking.

Can’t wait to test these theories.

Mmmm…that looks yummy! I don’t have kids at home who’ll die if they find onion in anything so I’d add plenty of that!

Talking about Nigerian Dwarf Dairy goats, YES, the combination of having your own milk goats and chickens for eggs is wonderful.

Oh! That looks so yummy! I don’t put cheese in my scalloped corn but I might have to try this. I LOVE cheese. Scalloped corns is one of our favorite Thanksgiving and/or Christmas side dishes. I do used creamed and regular corn, eggs, Ritz crackers, sugar, pepper, onions, etc…. Okay, I gotta go get something to eat….

guess what i’m making to go with sunday dinner this week?
this recipe looks absolutely divine! :thumbsup:

ps……i run onions thru my food processor as i’m dealing with an onion hater myself. when making sauces, i sweat them a little in the pan, and then run ‘em thru a blender with a bit of the sauce so i get that lovely flavor and danny doesn’t get any chunks! sneaky, aren’t i?

That looks so good! I have to have two of the weirdest children – they never liked corn on the cob – how is that possible. They grudgingly eat corn so although this looks wonderful, I’ll probably not make it (sigh)

We love scalloped corn at our house, but have not used cheese in it before. What type of cheese do you include in your recipe?

Especially like the picture of the retreating hens and the way it looked like one little hen was kicking a leaf as she left since she couldn’t thumb her nose at your staff suggestion…I really am amazed at your energy level!
