Can This Be Frozen
This can be frozen. It will change the consistency some but if you give it a good stir before serving, it will be fine; still just a little different but just fine.
How to Store Leftover Cheesy Corn Casserole
If you have leftovers, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
The Half and Half
Half and half can be substituted for half heavy cream and half milk; that is what half and half is. You could also use all heavy cream. That would make the recipe creamier. All milk could be used in a pinch but it may be too runny. I haven’t tried that.
The Cream Cheese
Neufchatel cheese is 1/3 fat cream cheese. That is my preference nutritionally for us and I think it blends better.
If you would like to use full fat, that works fine too. I don’t know about fat free cream cheese.
The Corn
Canned corn is so easy and what the recipe calls for.
If, however, you have leftover corn or want to use frozen and thawed corn, you can substitute 3 ½ cups of cooked corn for the canned.
Key Ingredients
(Full printable ingredients and instructions are just below.)
