The Chronicles of Dave’s Corn Casserole
Ah, Dave’s Corn Casserole. A dish so delectable, it could turn even the most dedicated carnivore into a corn enthusiast. Now, let’s not waste precious time. The mouth-watering medley of whole kernel corn, cream-style corn, sour cream, corn bread mix and margarine isn’t going to prepare itself.
The Gathering of Heroes
Like assembling a super team, our first task is to gather the heroes of our dish. And by heroes, I mean the ingredients, obviously. So, what’s in our motley crew? We’ve got 1 (16 1/2 oz.) can whole kernel corn, drained. Then, there’s 1 (16 1/2 oz.) can cream-style corn – the Robin to our corn’s Batman if you will. A generous dollop of 1 (8 oz.) sour cream is also invited to the party. Not to be left out, we’ve got 1 (8 1/2 oz.) pkg. of Jiffy corn bread mix, and last but not least, 1 stick of margarine – the unsung hero of any casserole dish.
The Great Mix-Up
The next step is to mix these unlikely allies together. Picture yourself as a culinary DJ, smoothly blending the corns, sour cream, corn bread mix and melted margarine. It’s kind of like creating a symphony, if Beethoven was into cooking instead of composing. There’s something magical about this process, and by magical I mean messy. Just remember to save some of the sour cream for your baked potato later, we’re not running a charity here.
The Pan-Demonium
Once our heroes are well-blended, it’s time to pour our mixture into a greased 8 x 8 x 2-inch pan. Now, you might be thinking, “Greased? Why not non-stick?” Well, my friend, that’s a debate for another day. For now, let’s just accept the greased pan for its many virtues and move on.
The Heat is On
Now, the waiting game begins. We need to bake this baby at 350° for 50 minutes. That’s right, you heard me, 50 whole minutes! That’s enough time to catch up on your favorite sitcom, or, if you’re like me, enough time to panic about whether you remembered to turn off the stove. Spoiler alert: you did, but you’ll check at least three times anyway.
The Grand Unveiling
Finally, the moment of truth arrives. The aroma filling your kitchen is intoxicating. The golden brown top of the casserole is a sight to behold – it’s like the sun rising over a corn field. You almost don’t want to cut into it. Almost. But then you remember how hungry you are, and all sentimentality goes out the window.
And there you have it – Dave’s Corn Casserole. It’s a tale of corn, cream, bread, and margarine. A tale told in layers of golden, gooey goodness. Now, go forth and share this story. After all, the best tales are those shared over a good meal.
