Method

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In large bowl combine corn (thawed, if frozen), creamed corn, egg, sugar, butter, onion, bacon bits & cranberries. Mix well. Add cornbread mix and cheese. Mix well. Fold in green chilies, red peppers and cilantro. Pour into a large, greased 11x14" baking dish and bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown.

 

Notes: This is no ordinary corn casserole. It had sweet cranberries & savory bacon bits with the fresh taste of cilantro added in. This side dish will become a family favorite!

 

Number of Servings: 6-8
