Sweet and Savory Corn Casserole
This simple corn casserole is one of the most comforting dishes I know, filling my kitchen with the aroma of brown butter and sage from the moment I get started.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1/2 cup diced bell pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cans whole kernel corn, drained
- 1 can cream style corn
- 1 package cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
- 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and preheat to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C). Melt butter in a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat, then add onion, bell pepper, sugar, sage, salt, paprika, and cayenne. Cook, stirring, until onions are translucent and just beginning to brown, about 10 minutes, then add corn. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until no water remains in skillet, another 8 to 10 minutes, then stir in cornmeal and remove from heat.
