Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole kernel corn (fresh or canned)
  • 1 cup corn muffin mix (gluten-free if preferred)
  • 1 cup shredded plant-based cheese
  • 6 slices smoked turkey bacon
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder (natural)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Smoked Turkey Bacon: Cook the smoked turkey bacon in a pan over medium heat until crispy and golden. Chop into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
  2. Mix the Casserole Base: In a large bowl, combine the corn muffin mix, whole kernel corn, shredded plant-based cheese, and vegetable broth. Stir gently until well incorporated. Add onion powder, salt, and black pepper, adjusting seasoning to taste.
  3. Add the Smoked Turkey Bacon: Fold the crispy smoked turkey bacon pieces into the mixture, distributing evenly without breaking the texture.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish and smooth the top. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40-45 minutes or until the top is lightly golden and the casserole is set using the natural gelling agent.
  5. Let It Rest and Serve: Allow the casserole to cool slightly to let the natural gelling agent set and hold the texture for neat slices before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh corn for a sweeter, crunchier texture.
  • Do not overmix ingredients to keep casserole light and fluffy.
  • Increase baking time if using frozen corn to ensure it is cooked through.
  • Choose a high-quality plant-based cheese for better melt and creaminess.
  • Let the casserole rest after baking for easier slicing and flavor melding.
