By Charlotte Linde October 16, 2018

Each month we share a meal made with 5 ingredients or less to help you spend less time in the kitchen and more time with your family! This month, we've chosen cheesy corn and shells. We certainly aren't going to tell you that this dish is healthy (everything in moderation right?), but we can tell you that it is a delicious comfort food and is sure to be a huge hit with friends and family this Fall season!

Cheesy Corn and Shells

Prep time: 5 minutes

Cook time: 60 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups shell pasta (or you can use what you have in the pantry -- elbows also work well!)
  • 1 can corn, with liquid
  • 1 can creamed corn
  • 1 stick of butter
  • 1 cup processed cheese, cubed, or 1 cup of your favorite jarred or canned cheese sauce

Directions:

  • Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Place all ingredients in a casserole dish. Stir.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. 
  • After 30 minutes, remove from oven and stir again.
  • Put it back into the oven, uncovered, for an additional 30 minutes or until the sauce thickens and the top is lightly golden brown.

Want more veggies? Simply throw in your frozen favorites, like peas or broccoli.

We hope your family enjoys this quick and easy 5-ingredient dish as much as we do!
