Picante Corn Casserole

First recipe, still looking for the other!  This recipe came from my husband's grandmother.  I wasnt a big Mexican food fan when we first got married so I skipped trying it for a few years.  What a mistake it is super yummy!! 

1 stick of margarine
8 ounces of cream cheese (how can you go wrong, right?)
15-ounce can Mexicorn (green and peppers mixed in with the corn)
3 T chopped onion (I omit, dont care for onions that much)
2 T Picante or salsa
salt to taste

1.  Melt margarine over low heat, add cream cheese, stir until melted.
2.  Combine remaining ingredients and add to cream cheese mixture.
3.  Bake uncovered at 350° for 35 minutes in 2 quart casserole.

TIPS:  Can be made ahead of time and refrigerated.  Triple recipe for 9 x 13 dish, which I do because it always goes fast.  Also can top with buttered crushed cornflakes.
