Beefy Jalapeno Corn Bake
Casseroles, the very word makes some people cringe, while others smile in delight. What side of the great casserole debate are you on? Personally, I love them. I think they’re comforting and they’re usually fairly economical. That’s a pretty good start to a wonderful recipe in my book!
This Beefy Jalapeno Corn Bake has been in our family’s handy dandy “Keeper” binder forever. It’s easy to make and there is plenty to feed our family of 7! I have to admit, I have even enjoyed the leftovers for breakfast! (shhhh!)
Despite having jalapenos, this recipe doesn’t have a lot of “heat” to it as long as you remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapenos. Even the kiddos like it. We usually serve this with a side salad and some sort of fruit.

I am a corn person so you know this is the most appealing dish. I would make it meatless and I am trying to figure out what to use in place of the meat. If I left it out and just made it, as it, do you think it would work?
That is not fair. I will have to try it out and find out for myself and let you know.
Jamie you come up with the best stuff, even if you find it somewhere else and share it! Yummm I'm pinning this!
Made it tonight – DELICIOUS ! Recipe goes into my file as well! See my post on Facebook 🙂 Was more than enough to feed us 5 adults.
