This comforting corn casserole is a simple, homemade dish that brings sweet and savory flavors together in every bite. Perfect for family dinners or holiday gatherings, it’s sure to become a favorite on your table.
Start by heating your oven to 350°F and greasing a 9x13-inch casserole dish. In a frying pan over medium heat, melt the butter and toss in the chopped onion. Let it cook for a couple of minutes until it softens, then add the garlic and sauté for another two minutes before taking the pan off the heat.
In a big bowl, combine the whole kernel corn, creamed corn, sour cream, stuffing mix, half of the shredded Cheddar, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper. Stir in the sautéed onion and garlic until everything is well mixed. Pour this mixture into your prepared dish, then sprinkle the remaining Cheddar cheese on top.
Pop it in the oven and bake until the casserole is nicely puffed up and golden around the edges, about 35 to 40 minutes. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Use fresh corn kernels for the best flavor, but frozen works well too.
- Don’t overmix the batter to keep the casserole light and fluffy.
- Let the casserole rest for a few minutes after baking to firm up before serving.
This dish combines the natural sweetness of fresh corn with a creamy, comforting texture. It’s easy to make from scratch and brings a homemade touch to any meal. Plus, it’s a great way to use fresh or frozen corn for a wholesome side.
This casserole pairs beautifully with roasted meats, grilled chicken, or even a fresh green salad. It’s perfect for holiday dinners or casual family meals. Adding a sprinkle of fresh herbs on top can brighten the flavors.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to keep the creamy texture intact. This dish can also be frozen for up to one month; thaw before reheating.
