Corn Side Dish

M Messer's Note:

This is not only fairly easy, but if you have all of stuff ready can be thrown together in the microwave and it's done in 12-15 minutes. I got it when I bought my Panasonic microwave way back in the 70's. It is very good & very different.

• Total Time: 25 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 1⁄3; cup celery , finely chopped
• 1⁄3; cup green pepper , finely chopped
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 (10 ounce) package frozen corn
• 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 1 (4 ounce) can mushroom stems and pieces , drained
• 1 tomato , finely chopped (med to large)
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 dash black pepper
• 1 dash cayenne pepper (optional)

Directions:

1. In 2-1/2 to 3 qt casserole dish, toss celery and green pepper in oil.
2. Microwave on high for 2 minutes.
3. Add all rest of ingredients.
4. Mix thoroughly, cover and cook on medium high until done for 9-10 minutes (I think).
5. That's a guess, you'll have to check to make sure everything is done and hot.
6. This is also good cold.
7. I use it when we have block parties or large picnics.

Hey this was really yummy! My husband and I really enjoyed this. I didn't use celery as I'm not a huge fan and whatever I don't use usually goes to waste, and I really don't like to waste food. But it didn't matter because this was still very good! I also used a big handful of fresh mushrooms from an 8 oz package and chopped them up since the canned kind just didn't sound good to me. I also used a 14oz bag of corn since I couldn't find the 10oz, but it all came out perfect. This is a great side dish for beef or chicken and goes good with salad or taco-seasoned ground beed. I look forward to making this again and again! Fast, healthy and tasty. Great combination! Blessings in JESUS!
