Mexican Corn Bake

I love corn and if I can find an excuse to make it, I gladly do. I keep frozen corn, on hand, all the time, so I can throw together some delicious dish.

In the summer, when we can get fresh corn, I refuse to do anything with it than boil it for a few minutes and eat it with all its sweetness.  There is nothing like freshly picked corn.  For the rest of the year, fortunately, there are many enjoyable dishes to make, blending the corn into some concoction or another.

This dish was a great success.  Everything blended together beautifully. I had stumbled on this Corn Bake at Pillsbury.
