This easy to make Cheesy Corn and Noodle Casserole recipe is a sweet side dish with tender pasta and cheese! It's a vintage recipe that is so delicious and a family favorite!
Living in Iowa, we have the best fresh corn (sweet corn), but my love for corn goes way beyond. Many years ago, a friend brought this delicious side dish to a 4th of July celebration and I wondered where this recipe had been all my life! If you love corn, pasta, and cheese, I know you will love this recipe!
This is not your typical corn casserole recipe. It is a creamy, pasta filled side dish unlike what you are used to. The best thing about this recipe is that the ingredient list is short - only 5 ingredients! I love easy recipes and easy dinner ideas, including side dishes, and this is a great side dish for holiday dinners, family gatherings, family reunion, potluck or any time of year! You will get rave reviews!
What You Need
Cream-Style Corn
Wide Egg Noodles
Butter
Sugar
Grated American or Velveeta Cheese
Tips for Making Cheesy Corn and Noodle Casserole
The recipe calls for Grated American Cheese which I have a hard time finding in my local stores so I substituted with Grated Velveeta Cheese
Not a lover of American cheese, try mild or sharp cheddar (I have only used American)
Not a lover of wide egg noodles, use your favorite pasta like elbow macaroni
If you only want to dirty one pan, prepare an 8x8 inch pan with nonstick cooking spray and add all ingredient to the pan then bake (it's what I do!)
