Corn Casserole

I have to give you one piece of advice: bring the game day winners dip and watch how you become the big hero at the party!

Before I start bringing out all of the pumpkin desserts and fall foods, I figured that I would try to hold onto summer for a little bit longer by making a fruit dessert. I mean it is still supposed to be 80 degrees here this week. If fruit bars and hot weather is not the epitome of summer, I am not sure what is (oh and Big Brother is on … uh Hello … That has defined summer for the past 15 years!)

But fear not, there is plenty of sugar to sweeten that sour cream right up! I brought these bars to our neighbors on all sides of our house. Each one stopped by later that day telling me how this was the best fruit bar that they have ever tasted! And honestly, I think that I agree.

This is an incredibly quick, easy and flexible recipe which allows you to make ahead, or serve right away. I often serve this with a nice piece of steak, and pour the sauce over it.

I’ve added some suggestions at the end of the recipe to hopefully inspire you to change it around (if you want to) and create a wonderful dish your family will enjoy.

This can be served as a starter, with some nice warm crusty bread to mop up the lovely sauce, or as a side dish, or as part of a pasta dish, or as a brunch, served on a slice of toast. The choice is yours, so please enjoy!
