Ingredients
Instructions
- Blend together the cream-style corn, Bisquick, beaten egg, salad oil, and milk until well combined.
- Pour half of the batter into a greased 9 x 10-inch casserole dish.
- Sprinkle about half of the chopped green chiles and grated Monterey Jack cheese over the batter.
- Repeat the layering with the remaining batter, chiles, and cheese.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 30 to 35 minutes until golden and set.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt to the batter. If you prefer a bit of heat, diced jalapeños can be substituted for the green chiles. Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep it light and fluffy. You can also experiment with different cheeses, like cheddar or pepper jack, for varied flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Bill's Corn Casserole warm as a side dish at barbecues or family gatherings. It pairs beautifully with grilled meats, such as chicken or pork, and is an excellent complement to salads. For a cozy meal, consider serving it alongside a bowl of chili or as part of a vegetarian spread with dishes like Dilly New Potatoes.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, let the casserole cool completely, then cover it tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate. It can be stored for up to 3 days. For reheating, place the casserole in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, until heated through. Alternatively, individual servings can be microwaved on medium power.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh corn instead of cream-style corn?

Is this casserole suitable for freezing?

How can I make this recipe gluten-free?
To make Bill's Corn Casserole gluten-free, substitute the Bisquick with a gluten-free baking mix. Ensure that all other ingredients, like the canned corn and cheese, are also gluten-free. This way, you can enjoy this dish without worrying about gluten.
