    Why you will love this recipe

    I love this version of scalloped corn. It has lots of vegetables, cheese, and it is the perfect side dish for the winter holidays, especially Thanksgiving.

    I have had this recipe for a number of years now, and I continue to make it every year.

    When I tried it the first time, in my first year in the United States, I fell in love with it. Since then, it definitely became my favorite side dish for this holiday.

    I grew up with corn in my diet. From corn on the cob to the popular polenta served instead of bread with the traditional Romanian stuffed cabbage rolls to corn bread, corn was part of the Romanian diet for centuries.

    We do not eat corn as much as people eat it here in the US, but it is interesting how corn is so completely integrated into our lives, from food to fuel and everything in between.

    It isn’t just a dish on our table. It has become a staple in our society.

    For me, it would not be Thanksgiving without a corn dish on the table. It is part of what America is, and we have to celebrate it properly.

    If you do not live in the US, you will probably not have access to cans of cream-style corn, but this is not a problem because you can easily use any corn you have, canned, frozen, or even fresh.

    I used all kinds over the years, and the results are almost similar. 

    I love frozen and fresh corn, though. That would be my first choice if I would have to choose from these options.

    Amazingly, I’ve found that many people aren’t as familiar with this recipe. I saw recipes of scalloped corn that do not have any vegetables.

    This recipe is lighter and healthier and tastes really delicious.

    This is comfort food, pure and simple. It is homey, it is uncomplicated, and it goes well with a huge variety of entrees. 

    What kind of ingredients do you need

    • Corn- any corn works. I like frozen corn because I have easier access to it, but canned corn works very well too. Make sure you drain it well before adding it to the recipe.
    • Eggs- all my recipes use large eggs.
    • Soda crackers/saltines- The original recipe requires saltines, but if you want to go with other savory crackers, go for them. (Ritz crackers are good)
    • Unsalted butter- melted.
    • Evaporated milk- see below for more info about this ingredient
    • Broccoli - frozen or fresh. If you use frozen, you will need to drain it well before.
    • Bell peppers chopped- I like the red bell pepper
    • Celery
    • Onion- white or yellow are good
    • Granulated sugar - we need just a small amount to balance the flavors
    • Salt
    • Cheddar cheese- shredded

    What is evaporated milk?

    Evaporated milk is a type of condensed milk that is unsweetened. Read more about this here.

    In the US, evaporated milk is found in cans in any grocery store, next to the sweetened condensed milk. Make sure you don’t get confused, as they are totally different.

    You can also replace it with half and half.

    If you live outside of the US, evaporated milk is known as unsweetened condensed milk.

    Learn how to make this side dish

    1. Preheat the oven. 
    2. Beat the eggs and add evaporated milk to them.
    3. Chop the vegetables.
    4. Bring the ingredients together: In a large bowl, place corn, crushed crackers, and chopped vegetables, and add the egg mixture together with the melted butter, shredded cheese, salt, and sugar.

    I mean, HOW easy is that? And also so delicious! It is good not only for the Thanksgiving meal but for any dinner or potluck! Enjoy!

    Tip:  You can make the dish in advance. I usually make it the day before and reheat it on the day I serve it.
