Fresh Corn and Tomato Casserole Recipe

Fresh Corn and Tomato Casserole Recipe

Cook Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 slices bacon
  • 8 ears fresh corn
  • cup butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large tomatoes, sliced

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F (175C).
  2. Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until crisp and evenly browned. Drain the bacon and chop it into small pieces. Set aside.
  3. Cut the kernels off the corn cobs. You should have around 4 to 5 cups of corn kernels.
  4. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the corn and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
  5. Stir in the chopped bacon and salt, then remove the skillet from the heat.
  6. Spread a layer of the corn mixture on the bottom of a 2-quart casserole dish. Layer with sliced tomatoes. Repeat the layers twice, finishing with a layer of tomatoes on top.
  7. Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the corn is tender.

My husband and I enjoyed this a lot. I changed the prep. a bit. Instead of sauteeing corn (used frozen) I mixed all ingredients together and baked. Added one green onion; used low fat marg. and turkey bacon; omitted salt. Very flavorful and would be great for a picnic.

We enjoyed this recipe with grilled hamburgers last night. All fresh, with tomatoes straight from the garden. Reviews indicated "tough" tomato skins prepared this way, so I peeled and diced them, draining some of the juices as I went along. I was in a rush, so I just mixed the tomatoes in with the corn and bacon, rather than layering it all. Sprinkled some Parmesan on top before baking, covered. As a side note, I had 6 ears of corn, and it yielded 7 heaping cups -- not "4 or 5 cups." That was fine -- more "goodness" to eat. This is one of those wonderful recipes that you can play with and add various spices and other vegetables.

Just the right balance of flavors.

I haven't made this recipe yet but I do plan on trying it. I made a skillet meal once out of necessity. I had fixed breaded fried okra and had unexpected company show up. So I needed to stretch what okra I had. I added can whole kernel corn ( fresh would have been wonderful had I had any ) and a couple of diced tomatoes. It was one of the best dishes I had ever made. So I am going to try this and top with breaded fried okra. Believe it or not the breading is great and helps absorb the tomato liquid.

Didn’t have bacon on hand, so I used some chopped pancetta and it turned out wonderfully. Will put into the summer rotation! Great idea for grilling side dish.

I've been getting fresh corn from the farmer's market (ewww, to the worms) and using my husband's heirloom tomatoes and I love this. The 2nd time I made this I added black pepper, fresh parsley and 2 green onions to the skillet along with the corn.

Tasty new twist to corn. We really liked the flavor of the corn being cooked in the bacon drippings. I added the layer of tomatoes at the end of the baking time so that they would still be firm. Lotsa of flavor - will be good with the late summer corn. Thanks Rafwolf for providing your recipe.

Excellent recipe! An absolute must to use the fresh corn cut off the cob. This dish is about the sweetness and the delicate crunch you get from the corn. Don't be afraid of the bacon, it is just a gentle added flavor, in no way overpowering. I added a small amount of minced onion. I must say, although I did peel the tomatoes, they didn't add anything to the dish other than color. I would probably leave them out next time or chop them so they are easier to eat. This recipe is a definite keeper!!

We had this with Thanksgiving dinner and it was delicious! We tried it again later with frozen corn, and it was very disappointing. I would stick with fresh corn straight from the cob.

I did not have bacon on hand so I used Tastefully Simple's Bacon Bacon instead & it was delicious! Makes a truly vegetarian side dish this way. Everyone thought the meal was delicious!

Very tasty, I added some chopped onion to the cornwhile cooking it before the baking process. I made individual servings in small gratin dishes.

Prepared using ghee rather than regular butter and it was perfect. 👍🏼 Added chili lime seasoning when I dished it up as I like a bit of heat with my sweet corn!

Wonderful recipe and super yummy too! Not sure I would try it without freshly picked corn and tomatoes though. Followed the recipe and was generous with the bacon. A keeper and finding a keeper recipe is not easy. I thank the individual who shared it.

This recipe is the bomb. We changed it up a little bit though. Used canned corn and canned tomatoes. Added some ranch dressing to the top and some mexican cheese. It ended up being amazing.

I was a bit hesitant about this recipe, boy was it great! I will be making this quite often, especially with the garden in overdrive. I made as is and will keep it that way.

A nice change from every day vegetables. Very easy to make. A little to buttery for me. Next time I will cut the butter in half, or maybe try olive oil. Will make againg for sure!
