Comfort nutrient vegetable casseroles are correct upwardly my alley.  There's merely something close the creaminess of vegetables slathered inwards sauce or cheese, or baked upwardly inwards a tasty custard-type batter, I love.

But to sympathise this casserole, I intend nosotros start convey to visit ... merely precisely what is a fritter?

In the simplest sense, a fritter is literally considered to locomote merely a "fried thing."  Though to a greater extent than typically, nosotros intend of fritters equally around type of primary component division {like corn ... or apples ... or meat} mixed with a uncomplicated batter as well as and thus deep-fried inwards small-scale cake-like bits.

Then how is this baked casserole a fritter, yous ask?

Well, it's non exactly.

Think of it similar a squishy cornbread loaded with whole nub corn as well as swell corn flavor.

The term "fritter" is used loosely inwards this dish's title, because this Corn Fritter Casserole is sure enough non fried.  Nor does it number inwards fiddling cake-like bits.  It's a baked mixture of whole nub corn as well as cream-style corn combined with eggs as well as corn muffin mix.

The eggs and corn muffin mix create a batter that ends upwardly surrounding the corn inwards a blanket of soft cornbread-type concoction i time baked.  Much similar a truthful fritter's batter surrounds the other ingredients later on frying.

So we'll convey to give this casserole a fiddling latitude inwards its job of the term "fritter" inwards its name.

But whether or non yous handgrip to its job of the give-and-take "fritter," I intend i matter we'll all handgrip on ... too this Corn Fritter Casserole's swell gustation ... is merely how slow it is to make.

Taking payoff of canned corn, canned cream-style corn, as well as packaged corn muffin mix, it comes together inwards a flash.  The hardest job of its prep is whisking upwardly 2 eggs as well as chopping around fresh greenish onion.  And equally nosotros all know, that's non too hard!

The hardest job of its prep is whisking upwardly 2 eggs as well as chopping around fresh greenish onion.  And that's non too hard!

Simply mix together softened butter as well as cream cheese with lightly beaten eggs.  Add inwards canned corn, cream-style corn, chopped greenish onion, a deport on of common salt as well as pepper, as well as a bundle of corn muffin mix.  And as well as thus pour the mixture into an 11x7-inch baking dish as well as bake it until set, close 45 minutes or so.

That's all at that topographic point is to it!  Pretty slow one-bowl prep ... which I love.
