• 1  10-ounce package frozen whole kernel corn, thawed and drained
• 1/2  cup coarsely crushed rich round crackers
• 1/2  cup shredded cheddar cheese (2 ounces)

Directions

1. Place the broccoli and corn in a large bowl. Add the 1/2 cup crushed crackers, the cheese, whipping cream or half-and-half, egg, the 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, the onion powder, salt, garlic powder, and pepper. Stir to combine the mixture. Spoon the mixture into a 1-1/2-quart round casserole or a 9-inch pie plate.

2. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup crushed crackers evenly over casserole. Drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter or margarine. Bake, uncovered, in a 350 degree F oven for about 25 minutes or until the edges are bubbly. Makes 6 side-dish servings.

Make-Ahead Tip: Crush the crackers 1 day ahead. Cover and store at room temperature until needed.
