A Journey to Healthy Comfort Food
Hi there! I’m Valerie. Like many of you, I used to find cooking a little intimidating. After my bariatric surgery, I still wanted comfort food, but I knew I had to make some changes.
That’s when I started working on a lighter version of my favorite dish, Jiffy Corn Casserole. With just a few simple, bariatric-friendly ingredients, I found a tasty way to enjoy the cozy flavors I love while taking care of my health.
Ingredients for a Bariatric-Friendly Meal
To whip up this bariatric-friendly corn casserole, you will need:
- 1 cup reduced-fat sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 1 package sugar-free Jiffy mix alternative
- 1 egg
- 1 can of corn kernels, drained
Easy Step-by-Step Instructions
Just follow these easy steps, and you’ll have a healthy comfort food ready in under 40 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, mix the sour cream, Jiffy mix, egg, and corn until fully combined.
- Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
Make It Lighter & Tips
To make it even lighter, try using smaller portions or swap in plain yogurt, egg whites, or low-fat cheese. If you want more flavor or protein, add some herbs, green chiles, or shredded chicken.
This lighter Jiffy casserole has less fat and sugar, is high in protein, and is easy to digest. It’s a great choice for simple post-bariatric meals.
Serving Ideas
This recipe makes about 6 small servings, each under 200 calories and packed with protein from Greek yogurt and egg.
Serve your casserole with lean protein, such as grilled chicken or turkey chili. You can also enjoy it as a golden, creamy side dish for the holidays that everyone will love, whether they are bariatric or not.
