Few weeks back, I threw a steak party for my family and this chicken corn casserole was perfect match with tenderloin steaks.
Although, freshly prepared pasta tastes best but this casserole worked very well. I prepared it way in advance ( 24 hours ahead) and kept it in fridge. Then reheated in oven at the last moment with grated cheese on top.
I’ve also used few green chillies in this recipe that provide enough heat to contrast with sweetness of corns.
Tips
- Make sure your white sauce is super smooth and not lumpy. To attain that here’s a tip. When you sauté flour for white sauce it should be paste like in appearance and not lumpy. You should add enough butter or oil while sautéing to give it a paste like appearance. When you mix milk gradually in this paste, it is more to dissolve in a smooth sauce. While a dry flour is more likely to form lumps.
- Make sure your pasta is cooked 1 minute less than the time mentioned on packet. This will allow pasta to absorb some of white sauce liquid without breaking its shape.
- For best taste make fresh and serve immediately.
- However, this casserole can be prepared up to 24 hour ahead and kept in fridge. Bake just before serving.
- Leftovers can also be reheated this in a pan with little milk on slow heat.
