Instructions:

1. Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a casserole dish.

2. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the zucchini (sliced or diced), corn kernels (fresh or canned), eggs, wheat germ, salt, onion powder, and monosodium glutamate. Stir until well combined.

3. Add Cheese: Fold in half of the sharp cheddar cheese into the zucchini mixture, ensuring even distribution of the cheesy goodness throughout.

4. Layer and Bake: Transfer the zucchini mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining sharp cheddar cheese over the top, creating a deliciously cheesy crust.

5. Bake: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven, and bake uncovered for about 45 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the casserole is golden brown on top.

6. Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. This delightful dish pairs wonderfully with a variety of mains or can shine as a star on its own.

7. Enjoy: Share the love and the flavors of grandma’s kitchen with your family and friends as you savor each comforting bite of this zucchini corn casserole, a true testament to the timeless appeal of homemade goodness. 🌽🧀
