Try these variations
For a bit more flavor, I tossed on some finely minced, pickled jalapenos. Whenever I am adding jalapenos, I choose the mild variety because they are not even spicy! If you like a little kick, you are welcome to add some diced hot jalapeno instead.
If you do not want to add jalapenos, you can simply stir in 7 ounces of canned diced green chiles. This adds flavor to the corn casserole without too much spice.
Jazz up this corn casserole to your liking. You can leave this plain or add some diced peppers as you see fit.
But you know what’s great? Adding in some crispy, crumbled bacon!
