This casserole combines three of our favorite corn-themed side dishes into one: creamed corn, Texas-style corn salad, and corn pudding. The results are delicious, and a very tasty addition to a holiday meal or large gathering. Corn kernels are briefly broiled with red onion, red bell pepper, and garlic to soften before being added to the batter. The batter consists of heavy cream, eggs, and canned cheddar cheese soup for a creamy, custard-like casserole. The entire casserole is seasoned with chipotle peppers in adobo for a moderate kick of smoky heat. If you like your side dishes on the milder side, reduce the amount of chipotle peppers in adobo by half.
