If you will excuse my tardiness I am going to give you an easy and flavorful side-dish to go along with any Mexican main dish!
I know that Cinco de Mayo was yesterday but I really wanted to share this recipe with you in case you have any leftovers or if you enjoy Mexican foods on a regular basis. We eat taco's, enchiladas, and fajitas all the time so this side dish will be a staple when we are hosting a crowd or just need a little extra to help fill my teenagers stomachs.
I first tasted this dish when a good friend brought my family a meal just after my father passed away. Emily Elam, of Redmond, said that she got this recipe from a friend when she got married and hadn't taken the time to try it. She made enough to feed her family and mine. Her family enjoyed it as much as we did. It went really well with the enchiladas that another friend had brought. It only has four ingredients and takes so little time to prepare.
As I have mentioned we don't have a microwave so I just melted the butter and cream cheese on the stove top in a small sauce pan. Even in doing that it only took about 5 min to put this casserole together. I really like that it can be easily adjusted to the size needed. I think I will bring it to the next pot luck and see how it goes over.
Thank you for sharing your recipe with me, Emily. Don't forget that I always enjoy hearing from the Central Oregonian readers, whether you are just commenting on the column or sharing a favorite recipe. I hope you enjoyed Cinco de Mayo and like this simple recipe.
Enjoy!
2 cans whole kernel corn, drained
3 oz cream cheese
1/4 cup butter
1 4 oz can chopped green chilies
Melt butter and cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir frequently to help the two ingredients blend. Pour corn and chilies in a small casserole dish. When butter and cream cheese are melted pour them over the corn and chili mixture. Stir well. Bake in an oven set at 350 degrees for 25 min, uncovered.
Serves 6
