Mexican Corn Casserole

This is my mom's recipe.

Makes 6 to 8 servings

Ingredients:
*1 small onion, chopped
*3 Tablespoons margarine
*2 cans cream style corn
*1 package (6 oz.) Mexican corn bread mix
*1 cup shredded 2% cheddar cheese
*1 egg, slightly beaten
*cooking spray

Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.  Saute onion in margarine in a skillet over medium heat until tender.  Set aside.

In a medium mixing bowl, stir together corn, cheese, and egg.  Stir in corn bread mix and onions.  Make sure the onions are not hot so that the egg does not cook.  Mix well. 

Spray a casserole dish with cooking spray.  Pour corn mixture into the baking dish.  Bake at 325 for 1 hour and 15 minutes uncovered.*

*Note:  When it is done, the consistency will be that of corn casserole, not of corn bread.
