Hamburger and Corn Casserole – How to Make It
This ground beef corn casserole is so easy to put together – it’s one of those basic dump-and-bake recipes! Here’s what you do:
- Brown the meat together with the onion and garlic in a large skillet and drain off excess liquid.
- Stir in the tomatoes, corn, olives, chili powder, and salt, and bring to a boil.
- Transfer the beef mixture to a 9-inch square baking dish.
- Combine the cornmeal, milk, and eggs.
- Pour over the meat and sprinkle cheese on top.
- Bake at 350°F for 40 to 50 minutes.
- Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
To make a large casserole, double the ingredients and use a 13 X 9-inch baking pan.
Recipe Variations
- Meat: Substitute ground chicken or turkey.
- Cheese: Vary the cheese – Monterey Jack, Pepper Jack, Gouda, American, mozzarella, Swiss, provolone.
- Veggies: Add any vegetable that you like. For instance, red peppers or peas would taste good and add some color.
What to Serve With Hamburger Corn Casserole
This is a filling casserole all by itself. However, are some serving suggestions:
- Serve it over your favorite pasta or noodle.
- Add a side of pan-fried potatoes, mashed potatoes, or black beans.
- And, don’t forget the salad!
How to Store Casserole Leftovers
Refrigerator: Store leftover casserole in an airtight container in your refrigerator for 2 to 3 days.
Freezer: Allow the casserole to cool to room temperature. Transfer the cooled leftovers to a freezer-safe container. Freeze it for up to 3 months.
Make Ahead Freezer: Why not make an extra unbaked casserole and freeze it for later? Line the pan of the one you want to freeze with foil, place in the fridge until cool, and then transfer to the freezer. When frozen, lift the casserole out of the pan using the foil and wrap it tightly. When it’s time to bake your frozen casserole, simply return it (still in the foil) to the pan and add 15 more minutes of baking time.
Note: Be careful if you use a casserole dish made of ceramic or glass. Placing it cold directly into a hot oven can cause it to shatter.
