Corn Au Gratin

 

6 ears of corn

3 tablespoons butter or margarine

1 small onion, finely chopped

1 green bell pepper, cored, seeded, and finely chopped

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 cups milk

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

2 eggs, well beaten

1 teaspoon sugar

salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup bread crumbs

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 2-quart casserole dish. If fresh corn is

used, remove husk and silk, and cut kernels from cob.

In a large frying pan over medium heat, melt butter or margarine. Add onion and

bell pepper and saute until tender; stir in flour and then add milk. Cook,

stirring constantly, until mixture has thickened and is smooth. Remove from

heat; add corn, cheddar cheese, eggs, sugar, salt, and pepper.

Pour into prepared casserole dish and top with bread crumbs. Set into a shallow

pan of hot water and bake 45 minutes. Remove from oven and serve immediately.
