Corn Casserole A La Morning Show

Preheat your oven to 350 Degrees
In a 9x9 Pan Combine:
  • 1 Cup of Uncooked Angel Hair Pasta broken into small pieces
  • 1 Stick of Melted Butter
  • 16 oz of Corn (You can do canned corn, frozen or fresh from the stalk)
If you want to use Corn fresh from the Stalk you must first Blanche the Corn
Get a pot of boiling water ready, boil the ears of corn for 2 minutes and then take a knife and run it down the rows of corn, the corn will come right off.
  • 1 Can of Creamed Corn
  • 2 Tsp of Onions
  • 1 Cup of Grated Cheddar Cheese
  • Put it in the oven while you're barbecuing meat and when the meat is done the casserole will be finished.




Today Bill and Rich also spoke with Pat Astor, the State Membership Director for the Knights of Columbus. Pat put out a plea for anyone who has been discerning becoming a knight to do so now. Iowa is coming to the end of its Fraternal Year and each year they are given a goal from the supreme council for membership. Right now Iowa is 100 people away from reaching its goal of 800 new members.

Why the Knights of Columbus? Besides being a fun group of men that you enter into a brotherhood with, they have a lot of amazing initiatives. Striving to foster unity, charity, fraternity and patriotism, the Knights of Columbus is open to anyone age 18 and older. They reach out into the community and into their parish to make a difference. Just one of many examples is this time last year we were hip deep in water and the Knights of Columbus in Iowa gave out 10s of thousands of dollars to help the people in need get by.

There are four degrees to being a Knight of Columbus. The First degree is where everyone starts and allows them to get the feel for the Knights. The Second and Third degree draw the men into a deeper understanding of the four pillars of being a Knight of Columbus: unity, charity, fraternity and patriotism. The Fourth degree is the Patriotic Degree where they are ceremoniously awarded their pluming hat and sword.

Check out the Knights of Columbus at your parish today and help Iowa reach its goal of 800 new members for the Fraternal year so that they may be included in the Circle of Honor.
