Equipment

  • 9x3 Baking Dish
  • Hand Held Mixer

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces Cream Cheese room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons Sugar
  • 2 large Eggs beaten
  • 1 cup Whole Milk
  • 2 tablespoons Butter melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 2 cups Frozen Corn
  • 1 14¾ ounces can Cream-Style Corn
  • 1 cup Yellow Cornmeal
  • 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese

Topping

  • cups Ritz Crackers crushed
  • 2 Garlic Cloves minced
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce
  • 4 tablespoons Butter melted

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375ºF and grease a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray, butter, or oil.
  • In a large mixing bowl beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Gradually add the eggs into the mixture and beat until just incorporated.
  • Place the milk, butter, salt, cayenne pepper, and black pepper into the mixing bowl and beat together until well-blended.
  • Using a spoon, stir in the frozen corn, cream-style corn, yellow cornmeal, and shredded cheese. Scoop the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  • In a small bowl combine the crushed Ritz crackers, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and melted butter. Sprinkle on top of the casserole.
  • Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Notes

  • Add chicken. By mixing in some baked chicken or rotisserie-style chicken. You'll have a complete meal.
  • Leave off the topping. This recipe has a deliciously crunchy and buttery graham cracker topping, but you could swap this out for some cornflakes, breadcrumbs, even crushed potato chips, or no topping at all.
