Wow. That’s all we can say about this awesome casserole. We all enjoyed fishing out the hunk of bacon fat from a can of baked beans when we were kids, right? Well, this recipe smothers the baked beans in crispy strips of bacon for a savory treat so mouthwatering you’re going to need a bib. Seriously, you won’t have any leftovers because they will all be in your belly.

Watch your family gobble up this meal like nobody’s business. I’m talking complete food inhalation. Whenever I place baked bean and bacon casserole on the table my husband and kids get this crazy look in their eyes like they are about to totally devour the food. And guess what? They do! I love making a meal that’s a winner with the fam.

I don’t know about you, but I absolutely LOVE French onion chip dip. Now, imagine my surprise when I discovered that you can cook with this heavenly spread.

You only need a few ingredients!

Corn casserole is a staple food down south and for good reason: it’s fantastic! However, even if you’re a Yankee, you can still enjoy the delights of this warm and comforting cuisine. You’ll be amazed at how simple it is to make, and sometimes, if you have leftovers like ham, you can toss it into the pan. Nothing goes to waste! My family always looks forward to this corn casserole during Thanksgiving and other holidays.

Another great thing about this dish is that it can easily work as a one-pan meal. You’ve got your veggies, starch, and protein nestled into one convenient casserole. Pair this puppy with a side such as lettuce salad or a dollop of applesauce and dinner is served, kid! I love serving corn casserole on cold fall and winter days but it still works during the warmer months as well.
