I have a confession, I’m in love with this 3 Cheese Corn Casserole with Bacon recipe! I cannot make it enough…it’s just soooo good! Who can resist coating veggies in cheese and bacon right? My hubby likes to put this on his mashed potatoes but I prefer to just enjoy it all by itself, but hey….whatever floats your boat.
Vegetable side dishes like Zucchini Casserole With Stuffing or Cheesy Broccoli Potato Casserole, are a great way to round out a meal. I love the simplicity of having a side dish ready and waiting in the oven while I focus on my main course!

What To Do With Leftover Corn Casserole
Leftovers can easily be stored in the refrigerator as long as it is covered and kept in an airtight container. Leaving it open in the fridge will cause it to dry out and worse, absorb the odors of other items.
This casserole is easily reheated, or can even be eaten cold. Adjust the flavors with a dash of salt and pepper, or maybe a shot of hot sauce and it is ready to serve all over again!
How To Freeze Corn Casserole
Corn and cheese casserole is easily frozen and will thaw out really well too! Place it in a zippered bag or an airtight container to retain freshness and be sure to label the outside with the date. This casserole will last about eight weeks in the freezer, but you will use it up long before then for sure!
