Equipment

Ingredients

2 tbsp unsalted butter
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 bell pepper finely chopped
4 large eggs room temperature and beaten
1/3 cup salted butter melted
1/2 cup sour cream room temperature
2 tbsp granulated sugar
3 tbsp cornstarch
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 ears corn, shucked or 1 1/2 cups thawed frozen corn
2 cans of cream style corn 14.75 ounce each can
1 cup grated cheddar cheese

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and grease a casserole dish.
Melt butter in large skillet. Saute onion and bell pepper in onion until onions are tender and transparent. Set aside.
In a large bowl, add eggs, butter and sour cream and whisk together until combined. Next add sugar, cornstarch and black pepper then stir in shucked corn, creamed corn and the tender onion and bell pepper and combine together.
Pour mixture into greased casserole dish, sprinkle on cheese, cover with foil and bake for 50 minutes then remove foil and bake another 10 minutes.

Notes

For Frozen Corn

Just substitute the same amount and saute’ the corn unthawing it and bringing it up to the temperature of the rest of the ingredients. The baking time should be the same.

How to Store

Fridge: Cool to room temp. Cover with plastic wrap or foil or add to an airtight container and pop in the fridge. It will last about 3-4 days.

Freezer: It's easier to create smaller portions of the corn pudding. Wrap each portion in plastic wrap then add to a freezer safe ziptop bag and label with the date. It should last about 2-3 months.

Reheating: If frozen, thaw in the fridge overnight. You can either microwave or add to the oven to warm. If heating in the oven, cover with foil and heat at 350F for about 15-20 minutes.
