Hi friends, I have had a few days to cook and be creative in the kitchen. And I have had all of you on my mind. I know that we are in a difficult time that could make meal planning challenging at best, especially with ingredients being difficult to come by in some areas. With that in mind I want to share a series of recipes with you that focus on utilizing our pantries, freezers, and whatever fresh ingredients we may have on hand. The first one I wanted to share is a simple, yet flavorful side dish I like to call Pantry Raid Corn Casserole. With this recipe and the ones to follow, I want you to remember to substitute wherever you need to. If you have canned sweet corn instead of frozen, drain it and use it! It will work great! If you have different type of cracker, use it. I promise this is cooking not rocket science.

One of the things I love about this casserole is the fact that it is not filled with a bunch of stuff. I it held together with just a little bit of egg, crackers, and dairy. And then it is topped with a little cheese and crackers and that is it. So, this casserole is mainly corn. And here in the south that is a vegetable! And for me sweet corn qualifies as a dessert!

I will say, the little touch of jalapeno in this Pantry Raid Corn Casserole, is not hot so try not to shy away from it. The hint of heat it adds brings a nice balance to the sweetness of the overall dish. And remember what I said earlier. We are in a strange time with everyone staying home to try and remain healthy. Substitute with whatever peppers you have. Do you have pimentos? Do you have roasted red peppers? Or pepperoncini’s? Any of these would be a great option.

Now I did not film this recipe for you. It is so simple, I had confidence you could mix all of the ingredients and pour them into a dish! Give it a try today and let me know what you think! I am sure everyone in your family will approve.
