Cheesy corn hotdish: SO EASY to make, and one of the most delicious Minnesota hotdish recipes I've had. Growing up in rural Minnesota, hotdish was a frequent and much-loved meal. My mom had a rotation of 3 or 4 hotdish recipes that she would cycle through. We loved them all.

This particular recipe was not part of our rotation.

But I wish it had been.

I tried this cheesy corn hotdish for the first time at a church potluck.  (Thanks, Angie, for sharing your recipe!)

About The Recipe: Cheesy Corn Hotdish

  • It takes 5 minutes to prep: The best thing about this hotdish? It’s CRAZY easy to make. There are only 5 ingredients. You don’t have to precook the pasta. You literally combine everything in one bowl and bake it for 45 minutes. YOU CAN DO THIS!
  • It’s vegetarian: This hotdish doesn’t have any meat in it. While you certainly could add some ground beef, chicken or even ring bologna, I think it’s absolutely delicious without. 
  • Toppings optional: I topped this hotdish with some chopped red bell pepper and bacon – but this is totally optional. The hotdish is awesome without any toppings. 
  • It’s cheap: Canned corn, butter, pasta, and Velveeta cheese. These are the only ingredients in this hotdish!

There are probably thousands of different Midwest hotdish/casserole recipes out there. I urge you to give this gem a try.
