Chile Corn Casserole
Chile Corn Casserole | A creamy delicious side dish perfect for your holiday table. With a mixture of corn, roasted pasilla and red peppers the flavors can not be beat!
The side dishes on your holiday table are just as important as your main dish. In fact most of the time I choose to have a plate full of side dishes and salads as leftovers.
This casserole has the added step of roasting the peppers. Trust me when I say PLEASE do not skip this step. It’s those roasted peppers that offer the outstanding flavor of this casserole. The GOOD NEWS is…..You can roast them up to 48 hours before you need them! So go forth and ROAST!
