You bet! Though this recipe calls for frozen corn, you can substitute fresh corn or canned.
Yes, store leftovers in a buttered casserole dish. On day two, sprinkle with brown sugar and heat until bubbly. Tuck it under the broiler - oh my! Ridiculously good!
The brick of cream cheese thickens it up so nicely! After it's done cooking, give it a good stir. As the cream cheese dispurses, it will thicken the casserole.
Deb’s tips for the perfect dish
If you're serving a crowd, be sure to double the recipe. This is a dish everyone loves!
- Use full-fat ingredients. It really adds to the richness.
- Soften the cream cheese before adding it to the crockpot. It will melt easier and be creamier.
- Stirring the dish occasionally will ensure it melts evently.
How to store leftovers
Refrigerate - Store leftovers in a buttered casserole dish. On day two, sprinkle with brown sugar and heat until bubbly. Tuck it under the broiler - oh my! Ridiculously good!
Freezer - This dish freezes great. Place leftovers in an airtight container and freeze up to three months.
Reheat - On the stovetop or in the oven.
Repurpose your leftovers
My favorite meal to make with leftovers is turkey corn soup. Especially during the holidays when you have leftover turkey. It's also great with leftover chicken.
It also makes a great vegetarian quesadilla. Just add some Monteray Jack cheese - delish!
