you're making mealtime meaningful.
We cannot deny our love for creamy casseroles. When it’s been a long day and you’re in need of some comfort food, a dish like this is sure to do the trick. If you can’t get a hug from Mom, a casserole like this is the next best thing. Warm and salty, it’s easy to throw together after work and bound to be a hit with everyone who tries it. If you’ve never had the pleasure of trying Shoepeg Casserole, you’re in for a treat!
Shoepeg casserole gets its name from the can of shoepeg corn, but if you’re not able to find it at your local grocery then a can of white corn will also work just fine. For the rest of the ingredient list, you’ll find all the typical casserole culprits, then you’ll top it all off with some crushed crackers and butter (that bit of crunch might be our favorite part!). Pop it in the oven for 45 minutes and then dig into a steamy bowl of comfort.
We typically serve this casserole as a side dish, but if you add some shredded chicken or turkey it could easily be turned into a main. Many of my relatives love to add a little hot sauce to their serving for a bit of a kick. If you’ve got a taste for spice then I’d highly recommend giving that a try. Eat it alongside your favorite protein, or bring this to your next potluck. It’s sure to be a hit with the whole crew!
