Cheesy Bacon Corn Casserole

Preheat oven to 400 F.

Add the oil and garlic to a large skillet and cook on low for a couple of minutes until the garlic has softened but not browned. Whisk in the flour until it forms a paste and then slowly whisk in the milk. Cook on low heat for a couple of minutes until it thickens. Season with salt, pepper and paprika.

Turn off the heat and whisk in 1/2 cup of the cheese until it is incorporated. Add the corn, scallions and bacon and stir to combine. Remove pan from heat.

Pour the mixture into one or more baking dishes. I used two 12 ounce size bakers. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and bake in a 400 F oven for about 15 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the top is a light golden brown.

Makes 2-3 servings.
