Corn casserole is one of those famous southern things. Though... oddly enough we never had it in my house when I was growing up. We always had cornbread. Not because we weren't fans of corn casserole or anything... we just always had cornbread instead, and I have no answer for 'why'.
To be honest, this corn casserole was actually a happy little accident on my part.

Oh, well... me - of course!
I am always trying new and interesting ways to add more vegetables into our lives here. It's not always an easy task if you have a preschooler who's more than a little finicky when it comes to food...

Anyway, I figured... I love tostadas and I love 7 Layer Dip... so why not put the two together?
