I realized that I have a lot of corn in the freezer that I had parboiled, cut off the cob, and frozen last fall. While we absolutely love a nice bacon & corn chowder, we wanted a nice side dish option to go along with summer meals. This easy cheesy baked corn side dish is based on a recipe by spoonforkbacon.com. Then, per my usual, tweaked a bit. Enjoy!

Tasty cheesy corn, ready to eat!

Cheesy Baked Corn Side Dish

Preheat oven to 400 F. 

In a bowl, mix together: 

3 cups frozen sweet corn kernels (if using fresh, you can bake ~10 minutes before broiling)

1/3 - 1/2 cup mayonnaise

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (Yes, you can use a bit extra cheese if desired)

1/4 cup green onions, thinly sliced OR 1 Tbsp freeze dried chives

1/4 - 1/2 tsp pepper

1/4 - 1/2 tsp salt

Stir together and place in a baking dish (approx. 8 x 8 size.)  Bake ~20 minutes, until nice and bubbly and corn has had a chance to both thaw and cook.  

Place under the broiler, and broil 2-3 minutes until the top has a chance to brown as much as you prefer. I did a light browning here because we wanted to eat, but I'd prefer just a little longer. Enjoy!

Cheesy Corn served with chicken BBQ sandwiches and roast asparagus & potatoes.
