Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C), ensuring that it is ready to bake your delicious dish to perfection.
-
Prepare the Casserole Dish: Generously butter a 1-quart casserole dish, coating the sides and bottom to prevent sticking and enhance the flavor.
-
Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients thoroughly. This includes the eggs, butter, evaporated milk, chopped green bell pepper, chopped celery, chopped onion, sugar, seasoning salt, pepper, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until everything is well blended, ensuring the eggs are fully incorporated and the vegetables are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
-
Transfer to Casserole Dish: Pour the blended mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
-
Bake the Dish: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for approximately 30 to 35 minutes. This allows the mixture to set and the flavors to meld beautifully.
-
Add the Cheese Topping: Once the baking time is up, carefully remove the casserole from the oven. Top the dish with an ample amount of shredded cheddar cheese, or as much as you desire, allowing it to cover the surface evenly.
-
Melt the Cheese: Return the casserole to the oven for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, just long enough for the cheese to melt and become bubbly, creating a delicious, gooey topping.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the cheese has melted to your liking, remove the casserole from the oven. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving. This Cheesy Scalloped Corn Bake makes for a comforting side dish, perfect for family dinners, potlucks, or any special occasion.
