Ingredients

1. 4 T Butter
2. 4 oz. Cream Cheese

4. 2 Cups of Frozen Corn
5. 2 1/2 Cups of Oyster Crackers, Crushed
6. 1/2 t of Salt and Pepper

Quick Directions

1. Melt 3 T of butter and 4 oz. of cream cheese together on medium low heat until blended.  Stir constantly.
2. Crush 2 cups of oyster crackers up, doesn’t have to be fully crushed.
3. Combine all ingredients together except for 1 T of butter and 1/2 cup of oyster crackers.
4. Melt final tablespoon of butter and mix with the remaining oyster crackers.
5. Sprinkle the butter and oyster cracker mixture over the top.
6. Bake at 350 for 45-60 minutes or until crackers are golden brown on top.

Detailed Directions


This dish takes about 5-10 minutes to prepare.  The baking time is the only  thing keeping it from being a super fast dish.  Start by melting 3 tablespoons of the butter with the cream cheese.  Use medium low heat and stir constantly until it becomes creamy.


It will look like this when its ready.





Next crush 2 cups of the crackers up, add the salt and pepper and cream cheese butter mixture.  Mix it up!  If you want to save time, you can go ahead and add the corn in now and mix everything at once, but I prefer to mix the crackers with the cream cheese first.


Add the creamed corn and the frozen corn and mix everything together.  If you wish too, you can omit the frozen corn and instead add another can of creamed corn.  I like the added texture that the frozen corn adds though and in my opinion it is a welcome addition.


Next melt the remaining tablespoon of butter and mix with that final 1/2 cup of oyster crackers.  Sprinkle it over the top and the hard work is done.  Place it in a baking pan and toss it in the oven that is already preheated to 350 and go grab a glass of water or your favorite beverage to relax.


It will bake for about 45-60 minutes.  As an added benefit, the crackers on top will turn a nice golden brown to let you know its ready.  Enjoy!  And as always…rage on!

Additions and Other things

• This is the base recipe for scalloped corn that I use.  It is very easy to double and put into a larger pan.  I used a 3 quart pot, but that was slightly larger than I really needed.
• You can add things like crumpled bacon or diced up jalapeños if you like things spicy.  Even adding some cheese turns out pretty good.
• As I’ve mentioned, this is a super easy recipe to make.  But that doesn’t take anything away from the flavor.  Take it to your next family gathering and bask in the praises!
