Cheesy Corn Casserole

Cheesy Corn Casserole

Healthy Fact of the Day

While Cheesy Corn Casserole is a comforting side dish, it's high in calories and fat. Corn provides fiber, vitamins, and minerals including vitamin C and potassium. To make it healthier, consider using light sour cream and reducing the amount of cheese. You can add more vegetables like diced bell peppers or chopped spinach to increase nutrient content. Using whole grain cornbread mix adds more fiber and nutrients. The addition of jalapeƱos not only adds flavor but also provides capsaicin, which may boost metabolism. While delicious, this dish is best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced meal. Consider serving smaller portions alongside lean protein and a large serving of non-starchy vegetables.

Tip of the Day

ā€œAlways let your meat rest before slicing.ā€

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
