This cheesy corn casserole recipe calls for Monterey Jack cheese, but feel free to use your favorite cheese in its place. Velveeta is a flavorful option that is smooth and creamy when it melts, but cheddar, Colby Jack and Gouda are all great substitutions as well.

What are some variations of this cheesy corn casserole?

Give this cheesy corn casserole a little kick by adding a few dashes of hot pepper sauce. If cream-style corn is not your thing, swap it for another can of whole kernel corn and increase the sour cream to 1-1/3 cups.
