What’s the backstory on street corn?

Corn has been a staple in Mexico for over 9,000 years! Early preparations included roasting corn over open flames and in the 16th century, the Spanish introduced using cream, cheese, and butter on the corn! By the 19th and 20th century, street venders were selling street corn out of their carts in urban areas – which has shaped the street corn we know and love today!

Why make this in a casserole dish and not just make street corn?

Street corn is amazing! But sometimes you just want something easy! This recipe doesn’t get easier! You can also use fresh corn when it’s in season! Casseroles are great because they’re family friendly and take very minimal effort and cleanup! Think of it as a deconstructed street corn! This is a recipe the whole family will love, and it’s fitting year-round!
