Ingredients

• 6 tablespoons butter
• 1 1/4 cup cornbread stuffing crumbs
• 1 egg, slightly beaten
• 2 (14.75-ounce) cans creamed corn
• 3 tablespoons onion, finely grated
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 (10-ounce) bags frozen chopped broccoli, thawed and drained well

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray a 3-quart casserole with cooking spray.

Melt the butter in a medium-size saucepan. Add 1 cup of the breadcrumbs to the saucepan and mix well.

Mix the egg, corn, salt, black pepper, and onion in a bowl. Fold in the broccoli and the breadcrumb mixture. Pour the entire mixture into the prepared casserole, and top with the remaining breadcrumbs.

Bake for about 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Let rest for 10 minutes, then serve.
