You probably know the basics that you are going to serve for your holiday meal; ham, turkey, or maybe even a nice beef roast. Instead of throwing some corn in a bowl, try baking this Cheddar Corn Casserole instead!
Cheddar Corn Casserole
1¼ cups crushed saltine crackers (about 27)
1 cup milk
2 eggs, beaten
3 tablespoons melted butter
2 tablespoons minced onion
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup milk
2 cups whole kernel corn, frozen or canned (drained)
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Combine crackers, milk, eggs and butter in a small bowl and let stand for about 30 minutes. Add the minced onion, Worcestershire sauce, milk, corn and salt. Mix well. Pour into a 1½ quart casserole dish. Bake at 325 degrees F for 35 to 40 minutes. Sprinkle cheese on the top and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

Here’s another great side dish that goes well with just about any entree. I love making my asparagus puff because it’s so pretty!
Asparagus Puff
1 puff pastry sheet, thawed if frozen
¾ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1 pound thin asparagus spears
1½ tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoon cracked black pepper
Unfold pastry sheet onto a baking sheet. Using a sharp knife, score a line ½ inch inside the edge of the pastry sheet to form a border. Prick the pastry sheet inside the border with a fork. Sprinkle half the cheese onto the pastry sheet inside the border. Place the asparagus on a plate and toss with the olive oil and pepper. Arrange asparagus on top of the cheese, stacking to fit if needed. Bake at 400 degrees F for 20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Use a kitchen shears to cut the puff into 9 squares.

I love reading about the different types of food people eat for Christmas. Although asparagus to me sounds like a spring vegetable.

You’re right about that. We only had asparagus in spring when I was growing up. But now we can get it any time of year!
I love asparagus, so I’ll definitely have to try that recipe. I also love how you attached pdf versions of your recipes. Brilliant!

Thanks! I just figured out how to do that! I don’t have that many recipes on the blog, so I didn’t want to install a recipe plug-in.
Wow. I always thought of asparagus as a late summer veggie but maybe it’s spring I’m thinking about. Probably. You’re right that we can get it year round. That puff recipe just blows my mind.

It is so easy to make, and yummy, too! Even my kids eat it!
I haven’t tried asparagus since I was about 10 and my mom tricked me and used it (from a can – not fresh) for green bean casserole.

Oh, I used to hate asparagus when I was a kid! It was always so slimy. I always roast it in the oven or grill it, and that’s the only way I’ll eat asparagus. 😉
