Easy Corn Casserole Recipe

Need a quick and easy holiday recipe? This is sure to please young and old alike.  It is amazingly simple.  Maybe you are someone who is intimidated by recipes with more than six ingredients, then this one is definitely for you.  It also reheats well in the microwave, so it is easy to carry to your next potluck supper. 

We love extra sharp cheddar cheese to snack on, but we have found that when switching to a mild or medium sharp cheddar when baking, those cheeses melt more evenly.  While the sharp cheese tends to separate at high temperatures, the milder cheeses end up smoother.

A tip for melting the butter:  place it in a heat proof bowl and tuck it in the oven while it is preheating. If you are brave and can handle more than six ingredients, you might try a squash casserole.
