Cheesy Corn Bake(via:thekitchn)Serves 4 - 6
1 red bell pepper, diced2 tablespoons unsalted butter3 tablespoons flour1 cup milk (I used 2%)1 cup freshly grated cheddar cheese1 ounce cream cheese1 teaspoon kosher saltPinch of cayenne pepper4 cups corn, fresh or frozen*
Preheat oven to 375&deg;.
Saut&eacute; bell pepper in a little bit of olive oil over medium to medium high heat. Set aside. In a heavy sauce pan, melt butter on medium-low to medium heat. Add flour and whisk until smooth (and the flour taste is cooked out), about three minutes. Pour in the milk and cook, constantly stirring, until very thick. Mix in cheddar and cream cheese and stir until melted and creamy. Remove from the heat and season with salt and cayenne.
Combine the cheese sauce, red pepper, and corn in a large bowl. Taste and add more salt and pepper, if desired. Pour into a baking dish (I used my favorite cast iron skillet) and bake until hot and bubbly, about 35 minutes.
*If using frozen corn, steam and drain it before adding it to the recipe.
