cheesy chicken and corn casserole

This cheesy chicken corn casserole is one of those easy dinner recipes you can throw together and pop in the oven in minutes and have it on the table in less than an hour. 

And since it’s a casserole, it’s got all the comfort you can handle.

How to make this easy casserole

It’s literally as simple as mixing all the ingredients together in a casserole dish.

Ok, I lied. You do need to reserve some of those delicious French fried onions for later, but other than that, everything goes in!

Is it a spicy casserole recipe?

That’s entirely up to you. The beauty of casseroles is that they’re so easy to customize to personal taste. If your family doesn’t like much heat, go with just a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of cayenne pepper for a subtle kick of flavor. If you love spice, go heavy-handed with the red pepper flakes. 

Obviously, you can see from the photo that my family loves it spicy!

Bake the casserole in the oven for about 45 minutes then top with the reserved fried onions and bake for a few more minutes until the onions turn golden brown.

Then have at it!

The creamy cheese sauce and crunch of the French fried onions makes me happy.

It’s SO good.

Yummy!

Originally published November 26, 2013, without chicken or black beans. It’s perfect as a vegetarian side dish that way but when you add the chicken and the black beans for a boost of protein, it becomes a hearty main course.

Feel free to make it either way!
