• 1 medium Red bell pepper (capsicum), diced
• 1 medium Green bell pepper (capsicum), diced
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese

• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for extra flavor)

• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Add the diced red and green bell peppers, and cook for another 4-5 minutes until they begin to soften.

Step 4

Stir in the corn kernels and cook for another 3 minutes. Remove the mixture from the heat and set aside.

Step 5

In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Stir in the cream cheese and heavy cream, whisking until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Add the shredded cheddar cheese to the saucepan, stirring until melted and well combined.

Step 7

Season the cheese sauce with salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using).

Step 8

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sautéed vegetable mixture with the cheese sauce. Mix until everything is well coated.

Step 9

Lightly grease a 9x9-inch casserole dish. Pour the mixture into the dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 10

If desired, sprinkle breadcrumbs over the top for a crispy crust.

Step 11

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5 minutes.

Step 13

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy!
