Corn Casserole: the embarrassingly easy dish that everyone will love

Leave a reply

This is probably my most requested recipe, which is a little embarrassing because it is so simple and relies heavily on canned/boxed ingredients. I normally like to cook with whole, unprocessed foods, but sometimes you need something quick and easy. This certainly fits the bill!

Mrs. Samurai’s Corn Casserole

Makes enough to feed a small crowd.

1 stick butter, melted
4 eggs, beaten
16 oz. sour cream
3 cans cream-style corn
3 cans whole kernel corn, drained
2 pkg. Jiffy brand corn muffin mix

In a large bowl, mix together butter, eggs, and sour cream. Add corn and muffin mix and stir to combine. Pour into a large casserole dish or pan and bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for about an hour to an hour and a half, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean and it is starting to brown a little around the edges.

You can halve this recipe, using one or two cans of each type of corn – depending on how “corny” you like it. Bake this smaller size in a 2 quart dish or pan for about 45 min. to an hour.

Whirlpool-Kenmore Direct-Drive Washer: No Spin, No Pumpy, No Nuttin’; Secret Samurai Trick Revealed

Whirlpool Direct Drive Washer - Burnt Motor Neutral Wire

See that burned wire? Yeah, I see that a lot in these cases. Seems like something’s horribly, dreadfully wrong when really it’s just a burnt wire at the motor harness connector, and usually the neutral (white) wire.

This is one of those cases where:

1- it’s a trivial problem but
2- it causes major gastro-intestinitis
3- it takes a professional appliantologist with hard-won real-world, but grossly under-appreciated experience to find this problem.

And now you’re gettin’ it for free. Honestly, I’m not sure how I feel about that. Maybe you could buy me a beer to help me forget about it and move on to something else. Domo!
