Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cans 15 oz each canned corn, drained
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
For Corn Fritters
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tsp baking powder

Equipment

  • 1 baking dish for casserole
  • 1 mixing bowl large
  • 1 skillet for fritters

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine drained canned corn, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and chopped green onions. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Pour the corn mixture into a greased baking dish. Spread evenly and bake for 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
For Corn Fritters
  1. In another bowl, whisk together flour, eggs, milk, and baking powder until smooth. Gently fold in the corn mixture.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat with a small amount of oil. Spoon the fritter batter into the skillet, cooking each side for 3-4 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Serving and Storage
  1. Serve the corn casserole warm, garnished with additional green onions if desired. Enjoy the fritters hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
  2. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.

Make-Ahead Tips: Prepare the corn mixture a day in advance and bake when ready to serve.
