Easy Corn Casserole (Quick Prep)

Corn Casserole is one of our favorite side dishes. A shortcut cornbread base is mixed with creamed corn, fresh herbs, and butter then baked until golden. 

Serve this side dish on Thanksgiving dinner side next to roast turkey or really any day you just want some good ol’ comfort food.

Ingredients

This recipe has been around pretty much forever. I

• Jiffy cornbread muffin mix is the perfect base for a fluffy easy corn casserole.
• Butter  because… butter makes everything better and sour cream for richness.
• Corn and creamed corn for texture and sweetness.
• Eggs help hold it all together.

If you haven’t had corn casserole before, you are going to love it. Corn Pudding is similar but has a more custard type texture while this corn casserole is a bit more similar to a cornbread texture but softer.

To Make Ahead

This recipe can be made ahead of time and baked. Cool completely and then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 2 days.

To reheat if baked ahead of time, allow the casserole to sit at room temperature for 30-60 minutes. Bake at 350°F for 15-20 minutes or until heated through.

How To Make Corn Casserole (overview)

Corn casserole is probably the easiest dish you are going to whip up.

1. Mix the ingredients (per recipe below)
2. Pour into a casserole dish
3. Bake it for about 45-55 minutes (it bakes perfectly in the toaster oven too).

Variations

I like to add a little butter on top as it comes out of the oven, and some parsley for added color.

Add in your favorites including

• cheese
• herbs
• bacon
• jalapenos

To Cook in a Crock Pot (or Slow Cooker)

Much like Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes and Crock Pot Stuffing, this recipe can easily be adapted for the Crock-Pot if your oven is full.

The cooking time can vary slightly but 2-3 hours on high should work. Once it is cooked, just unplug the slow cooker or set it to warm.
