A delightful and creamy baked corn dish with a spicy kick, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
In a medium casserole dish, combine the sweet corn, softened cream cheese, diced tomatoes with chilies, shredded cheddar cheese, and butter.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution of flavors.
Place the casserole dish in the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
This initial bake helps the ingredients start to meld together.
Remove the dish from the oven and stir the mixture to combine the melted ingredients evenly.
Stirring ensures a consistent texture and flavor throughout.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until bubbly and golden on top.
For a golden crust, you can broil for the last 2 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Serve the dish warm as a side or main course, and enjoy the creamy, spicy goodness.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or cilantro for a pop of color and added freshness.
