Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes! Assemble the casserole, cover, and refrigerate up to 24 hours. Bake just before serving.
Can I use canned corn?
Absolutely. Two 15-ounce cans (drained) equal about 4 cups.
Why does my sauce look lumpy at first?
That’s normal. Once the milk is added and stirred, it smooths right out.
Is this recipe spicy?
Only if you add jalapeños. Otherwise, it’s mild and family-friendly.
