Mexican Street Corn Bake

From the Recipe Creator: We discovered Mexican street corn at a festival. This easy one-pan version saves on prep and cleanup. Every August I freeze a lot of our own fresh sweet corn and then I use that in this recipe, but store-bought corn works just as well. —Erin Wright, Wallace, Kansas

“I had some grated cotija cheese I needed to use up, so I swapped the Parmesan cheese. I like my Mexican food mild, and I had ancho chile powder on hand that I used. I baked at 375 to match a burrito bake recipe; it baked up great! My family loved this with the fresh lime wedges.” —Shelly Lynn Bevington
