Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- ½ medium onion finely diced
- 15.25 ounce can whole kernel corn drained
- 14.75 ounce can creamed style corn
- 3 tablespoons fresh chives chopped
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 1 ¼ cups grated cup sharp cheddar cheese divided*
- 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups crushed kettle cooked potato chips {I used a Sour Cream & Cheddar flavor}**
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat.
- Add onion and cook until just translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Sprinkle the onions with flour and stir to combine, and continue to cook the mixture for about a minute.
- Add a can of drained, whole kernel corn and the can of creamed corn, stirring well until fully combined; cook for another 3-4 minutes.
- Remove from heat. Stir in chives, sour cream and 1 cup of cheddar cheese until the mixture is uniform.
- Top with remaining ¼cup cheese and crushed potato chips. Bake for about 20 minutes until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling. Serve hot.
Notes
Note: This recipe is easy to double for larger parties or hungrier guests!
Variations:
- Turn up the heat! Add a finely chopped jalapeno pepper (or two) to make it spicy.
- Give things a Southern spin by adding a small, drained jar of pimentos.
- Top it your way. Not a fan of the potato chip topping? (How??) No problem. Buttery round crackers, corn flakes, or even fried onions would make a fabulous alternative!
- Try different cheeses such as Pepper Jack or smoked Gouda.
- Add a drained can of lump crab for a nautical twist.
- Gluten-Free: Use your favorite one-to-one gluten-free flour blend in place or regular flour as a thickener.
- Vegan/Dairy-Free: Use plant-based butter, sour cream and cheese in place of regular. Top with your favorite vegan kettle chips.
