Pantry Corn Magic

Corn: The star of this dish is the corn. Use creamed corn and canned corn, or exchange canned with 1½ cups thawed frozen corn as an alternative.

Bitter Cream: This provides a barely tangy taste. Room temperature bitter cream will assist issues combine easily. No bitter cream? No downside. Exchange with full-fat Greek yogurt.
Variations: For a smoky bacon taste, fold in some cooked bacon and a pinch of smoked paprika. Scale back the sugar barely, and add chives or inexperienced onions for a extra savory casserole. Or make a inexperienced chile casserole by including inexperienced chiles and slightly cumin.
