Sweet Corn Casserole Recipe

I love corn and my dad (and hubby) grow the best sweet corn in the summer.  When it’s perfectly sweet and crunchy, I freeze a bunch for the winter (find a tutorial here).

Now that only goes so far, and then I’m looking for the next best thing, and that is this scalloped corn.  There are many different versions of this dish, so you’ll also see it called corn pudding, creamed corn casserole or corn soufflé or corn casserole.  Whatever it is called, it is delicious, and my kids love it.

This particular version comes from the Mt. Pisgah Church Collection of Recipes. Some of my favorite dishes have come from this cookbook including Reuben Casserole and Hot Dried Beef Dip.

Old Fashioned Creamed Corn Casserole

Creamed Corn Casserole is a scoopable casserole very similar to a corn pudding.  Be sure to cook he old fashioned corn casserole to the point where it’s a bit soft and pudding-like in the center.

My family has been serving up creamed corn pudding for decades. That’s because, it’s a party or holiday staple that is a hit with all ages. My teenage nephew was raving about it just the other day at a cookout at our cabin.

The ingredients for creamed corn casserole are easy – canned corn, creamed corn, sour cream, Jiffy Cornbread mix, eggs and butter. I upped the ante on the sweetness with one simple ingredient to take the flavor to the next level. By adding honey, sweet corn casserole goes over the top!

Notes About Sweet Corn Casserole:

• This Sweet Corn Casserole is a classic. We also call it baked creamed corn, escalloped corn, and scalloped corn.
• Use a can of creamed corn (undrained) and a can or regular corn (drained).  Or, use fresh sweet corn that has been frozen and substitute it for the regular corn, but do NOT omit or substitute the creamed corn.
• To ensure the butter doesn’t scramble the eggs, beat them in last after the melted butter has been mixed in, or let the melted butter cool for a bit.
• The honey is what makes this a sweet corn casserole and you can adjust to your liking.  I recommend 2 to 3 tablespoons. This is optional but recommended.
• This baked creamed corn is on our menu for every holiday.  We serve it along side Crock Pot Beef Brisket, Old Fashioned Pea Salad, and Crock Pot Green Beans.
