This made a very nice hotdish- a milder flavor, which is good for little ones (or older ones!) who don't like really spicy dishes. I used a can of creamed corn instead of kernel corn because that was what you preferred! Next time I will have to try it with just the regular kernel corn. Also, I used a blend of shredded monterey jack and colby cheese. Thanks for sharing!

I use ground turkey with up to a tablespoon of beef base mixed in.
