This Mexican Street Corn Casserole is such a delicious and unique tasting side dish thats perfect for the summer.

If you're familiar with elote or Mexican street corn, this is a play on that. Of course its not authentic, but it sure is good.

This recipe was given to me by a friend over ten years ago and I have made it so many times that I cant even count.

It's the perfect side dish for barbecues, cook outs and any summer party or get together. The compliments that I receive are always so positive.

I've also made this side dish plenty of times for a casual summer dinner at home when fresh Jersey corn is in full swing. Its just so good!

Not only is is super delicious, but it's easy to make, too.

This recipe takes barley any time to put together and the ingredients are super simple.

It gets a lot of attention at get togethers because its a little something different that stands out. I love traditional barbecue side dishes just as much as the next person but its nice to have some variety, too, every once in a while.

This is truly one of my favorite side dishes to make, serve and enjoy all summer long.

I hope you give this recipe a try. If you do, I know you'll love it just as much as my family and I do, too.

Mexican Street Corn Casserole Variations

I like this recipe for street corn casserole exactly as it is, but here are some ways you can switch it up if you'd like to.

  • Corn- Instead of removing the corn off the cob with your kitchen tool, canned corn would work here, too. Just be sure to drain it really well and use about 3 cups.
  • Cheese- Use whatever cheese here that you'd like. It all works.
  • Spice- If you'd like to add some heat to this dish, try adding some diced chilis or jalapenos. Spicier cheeses like pepper jack would add just the right amount of heat. A little more chili powder would do the trick, too.

Then, add the salt, pepper, chili powder and garlic power.

Now, mix everything together until it’s evenly combined.

After that, place it in a baking dish and smooth it until it’s flat and even..

Then, add a little more cheese to the top of the corn

Next, place it into the center rack of the oven until the cheese is melted and the casserole is nice and bubbly.

Finally, add some shredded cilantro or parsley (optional), let it cool slightly and enjoy!
