Cheesy Corn Casserole Video Transcript

Hi, Kristy in the Rada kitchen, today I’m making a Cheesy Corn Casserole. It has corn, of course, and bacon, and three types of cheeses, shredded cheddar, cream cheese, and Velveeta, which, as you know, is really hard to cut, so I wanted to share how well this Rada Cheese Knife works on really soft cheese.

This cheese knife was designed to cut soft cheeses and hard cheeses. It has these little holes that help reduce the drag. It has a little bit of serration. As you can see, it cuts right through Velveeta with no problem.

It has this little pointed end to help pick up pieces if you want to put them on a plate. But for this recipe we need 2 ounces of cubed cheese. Velveeta, anyway. So now we’ll go to the stove and cook up our bacon. Now, in a large saucepan over medium heat, we’re going to cook 4 slices of chopped bacon. We’re going to cook that about 8 to 10 minutes.

Once your bacon crumbles have nicely browned, we’re going to add 4 cloves of finely chopped garlic and 6 tablespoons of butter. Now we’re going to add half a cup of flour. You want to stir that constantly for one minute. And to this we’re going to whisk in 3 cups of milk. You want to constantly stir that so your milk doesn’t curdle. And at medium to medium-high heat we’re going to bring this mixture to a boil, you want to stir it constantly. So this has thickened, it has cooked for about 2 minutes, it’s nice and thick, and now we’re going t add 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, 4 ounces of cream cheese, and our 2 ounces of Velveeta cheese. You want to just stir that in until it’s all melted, also to this I’m going to add a teaspoon of Paprika.

That’s going to give it that nice color. So now the cheese has melted, it’s a nice, creamy, smooth mixture. We’re going to add the corn in. This is frozen. I think fresh would make it even better. So just keep mixing until it’s all evenly coated. And now once you have all the corn mixed in, put it in a 9 x 13 pan. I am using the Rada Stoneware, so you don’t have to preseason that. And you want to preheat oven to 375 degrees. And you’ll put this in the even for about 40 minutes or until top is brown and bubbly. Then you’ll want to let it sit for 15 minutes before you serve it for it to thicken a little bit.

Our Cheesy Corn Casserole is ready to serve, it’s a delicious mixture of cheeses and bacon, the perfect side dish for potlucks and barbecues.
