Tip:
To add a burst of flavor and a delightful change, in texture consider sprinkling some cheese on top of the casserole prior to baking. A combination of cheddar and creamy Monterey Jack cheese works well. The sharpness of the cheddar beautifully complements the sweetness of the corn while the Monterey Jack melts into a deliciously gooey layer. This not only enhances the taste but also gives the casserole an enticing golden brown crust that is hard to resist. Simply bake until the cheese is bubbly and turns a color for a delightful twist, on this timeless dish.
