Mindy's Corn Casserole

My Aunt Mindy used to bring this yummy corn casserole dish to our holiday meals. No one would get seconds because everyone would clear it out the first round around the table. One year we decided to call and get the recipe so we could maybe have more than half a serving. It was an instant hit for our menu.

When our Andy Borah moved in with us in 2006 in Spearfish, he was soooo picky you would have thought him 5 instead of 25. He would take my swiss steak, scrape it clean then add ketchup! He would take my pork chops and gravy and rinse them then add ketchup! He would not eat chinese, or mexican or many of my italian items. He liked hamburgers, steak and spaghetti, typical bachelor! One night when making our favorite pork chops and gravy with a side of corn casserole, Borah bypassed the pork chops entirely and opted to try the corn casserole. Next thing I knew the pan was EMPTY!!!!!

SCORE! Finally something Andy Borah will eat. Every time he has came to visit since moving out, I have made a point to make it for him. I have given him the recipe a few times but the man doesn't cook so it is no good. Eventually his daughter will be old enough to cook and she can keep ahold of it but for now it is a special item he only gets when he visits us.

It is also a dish I have never seen a kid turn their nose at. Even the pickiest Zach will eat it! It is a potluck fav that is quick and easy and I have many of times gotten calls for the recipe after the fact. Try it out!



Ingredients:

1 box corn muffin mix (Jiffy is best)
1 can cream corn
1 can corn, drained
1 cup sour cream
1 stick butter, softened
2 eggs


Directions:

Preheat oven to 400* (I do 450*)  Mix and blend all ingredients well. Spray a 9x9 pan thoroughly. Pour ingredients in the pan and throw it in the oven. Bake for 45 minutes or until firm the whole way through and top is golden (sometimes older ovens will not get the very middle done and you will need to stick it in the microwave for a few minutes- always good to use glass baking dish just in case this step s needed). DONE!

I like to serve it with pork chops and gravy, cheesy chicken crescents and porcupine meatballs (above) but the possibilities are endless as it goes with EVERYTHING.
