A delightful and hearty casserole combining corn, rice, and cheese for a comforting meal.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the diced onion and green pepper until softened.
Cook until the onions are translucent for the best flavor.
Stir in the flour to create a roux, cooking for 1-2 minutes.
This step thickens the casserole base.
Remove the skillet from heat and mix in the corn, cooked rice, diced tomatoes with juice, 1 ½ cups of the cheese, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of flavors.
Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish and spread evenly.
Greasing the dish prevents sticking.
Bake uncovered for 40 minutes.
Check for bubbling edges to ensure it's cooked through.
Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until melted.
For a golden crust, broil for the last minute.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the flavors to meld together.
