Now for the recipe.

Corn Moussaka

Makes 6 servings.

Preheat oven at 350 degrees.

1 15-17-ounce can whole kernel corn, drained (the large size)
1 ½ pounds ground beef/turkey
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 8-ounce can tomato sauce
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 slightly beaten eggs
1 ½ cups cottage cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 4-ounce package (1 cup) shredded mozzarella cheese
Slivered almonds (optional)

Spread corn in an ungreased shallow 1 ½-quart casserole or a 10x6x2-inch baking dish. In medium skillet brown ground beef or turkey; drain off excess fat and juices. Add flour; cook and stir for 1 minute. Stir in tomato sauce, garlic salt, and cinnamon; pour over corn in dish. Bake in 350 degree oven for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, combine eggs and cottage cheese; spread over meat mixture. Top with Parmesan and mozzarella; sprinkle nuts over, if desired. Bake 10 to 15 minutes more.

Tip: I made this for the first time with ground turkey and it turned out great! You can use any type of cottage cheese as well. Enjoy!
