Ingredients

• 1 pound ground pork sausage
• 1 medium, diced yellow onion
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 2 cups, frozen or fresh whole kernel corn
• 1 15-ounce can cream-style corn
• 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon ground paprika
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 0.5 cup plain breadcrumbs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with a light coat of butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground pork sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. Remove the sausage from the skillet with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring to combine. Remove from heat.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, onion, garlic, whole kernel corn, cream-style corn, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and paprika until well blended.

Step 6

Pour the egg and milk mixture into the sausage and corn mixture, stirring to evenly coat all ingredients.

Step 7

Transfer the mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out into an even layer.

Step 8

In a small bowl, melt the butter and toss it with the breadcrumbs. Sprinkle the buttered breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the casserole.

Step 9

Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the breadcrumbs.

Step 10

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.

Step 11

Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
