Cheesy Bacon Corn Casserole

My gosh you guys, this Cheesy Bacon Corn Casserole was good! Rich, delicious and it has this wonderful hint of cayenne that warms your mouth. I had to take a last minute picture of it at dinner time because I didn’t want you guys to miss out on this recipe. It also fits in really well with our theme, Mardi Gras Month.

If you are less than thrilled about where you buy your canned vegetables, Costco sells a nice quality canned corn that is perfect for this recipe.

Cheesy, buttery with a mix of sweet and spicy. This is comfort food, pure and simple. Enjoy!
