Side Hustle Casserole
When you’re hustling to make dinner consider this side dish! It is seriously so delicious and a perfect side dish to anything on the grill. The flavors of Mexican street corn and a bit of zucchini along for the ride are like summer in your mouth. We took this one down in no time and my house! I will definitely be making again soon.
Ingredients/Substitution Ideas
- Zucchini–go for smaller
- Frozen sweet corn–I like white sweet corn. Or fresh corn on the cob.
- Kosher salt
- Black pepper
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Red pepper flakes
- Mayonnaise
- Parmesan cheese
- Hot sauce–I used Franks
- Lime juice–fresh is best
- Butter
Steps
Heat oven to 350° F (or you can use a slow cooker)
In a mixing bowl toss together the zucchini, corn, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and red pepper flakes.
In a small bowl whisk together the mayo, parmesan, hot sauce and lime juice. Fold it into the corn so that it’s covered in the sauce.
Add the corn mixture into a baking dish (a 8×8 inch pan works well) or the slow cooker. Add the butter on top.
Bake for 30 minutes in the oven or cook in the slow cooker on high for 2 hours.
Serve and enjoy!
