by

This recipe creates a creamy, slightly sweet, and savory corn pudding casserole. It’s a comforting side dish perfect for holidays, potlucks, or family dinners. The combination of sweet corn, eggs, milk, and cheese creates a custardy texture with a golden-brown top.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cans (15 ounces each) cream-style corn
  • 1 can (15 ounces) whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup milk (or half-and-half)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • Optional: Chopped green onions or parsley for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish or two oval casserole dishes like shown in the image.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, and milk (or half-and-half).
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  5. Add Corn: Stir in the cream-style corn and drained whole kernel corn.
  6. Add Cheese (Optional): Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, if using.
  7. Pour into Dish: Pour the corn mixture into the prepared baking dish(es) and spread evenly.
  8. Bake: Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool and Garnish: Let the casserole cool slightly before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions or parsley, if desired.

Tips and Notes:

  • Corn Variety: You can use fresh corn kernels instead of canned corn. You’ll need about 3 cups of fresh corn.
  • Cheese Variations: Feel free to use other cheeses like Monterey Jack, Gruyere, or pepper jack.
  • Spice Level: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes for a spicier casserole.
  • Herb Variations: You can use other herbs like thyme, rosemary, or basil.
  • Make Ahead: You can prepare the casserole ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. When ready to bake, add about 15 minutes to the baking time.  
  • Storage: Store any leftover casserole in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
