Cook the Pasta
Boil the shell macaroni until just barely tender, then drain well.

Sweet corn melts into the sauce around tender shells while cheddar browns at the bubbling edges. A little pepper and onion keep this creamy bake from feeling one-note.
This Creamy Corn & Macaroni Casserole is soft, cheesy, and bubbling around the edges with tender pasta, sweet corn, and buttery flavor in every spoonful! Warm and comforting straight from the oven, it’s a classic side dish that fits especially well beside ham, roast turkey, fried chicken, and holiday suppers.

I usually sprinkled a little extra cheddar over the top near the end because I liked the browned cheese around the edges best. This always seemed to reheat surprisingly well the next day without drying out much at all.

Stir together the creamed corn, milk, egg, cheese, pasta, and vegetables until creamy.
