Corn casserole makes the PERFECT holiday side dish.

My husband absolutely loves corn. It is his favorite veggie to enjoy. Although not particularly the healthiest, it is the one he loves to eat with every meal. He loves broccoli, cauliflower and green beans, sure. But nothing quite beats the taste of a nice pile of corn over his mashed potatoes and gravy. He will even make these weird combinations, like pasta and meatballs with corn, or rice and beans. It definitely baffles me the way he is able to enjoy it with anything!

Recently, my good friend and neighbor Anne brought me a delicious treat she had made on an afternoon off. She knew that my husband Mikey loves corn so she made him a cornbread casserole unlike any other we had tried. Then, on top of it all, she made some tasty honey butter to go with it.

It became like a little soft mush over it that was gooey and delicious and to top it all off, she drizzled it with a little more honey. It was a perfectly sweet and salty treat that in my husband’s opinion, matches with every meal I could possibly make. I think this cornbread recipe is one that will be sticking around for a while.

Okay, so guess what the number one ingredient used in my house is…

If it were up to me, it would be bread or peanut butter or maybe even pasta.  But no, because of my husband’s love for it, it is corn.  We eat corn in every way we can find it.  That might be right off the cob, or in our fettucine alfredo, or in a sandwich type Venezuelan meal called an “arepa.”  I go to the supermarket and buy a dozen cans at a time and my husband will eat it straight out of the can if I let him.

Lately, he’s been putting it over every meal we eat.  I mean, just this morning I made him chicken and waffles for breakfast and guess what his brilliant idea was?  To throw half a can of corn over it.  I find it pretty nasty to put it over everything, but he absolutely loves it.  He thoroughly enjoyed that waffle and now wants to add it to my chocolate chip waffle.

I think he just does it to taunt me… But anyway, I have been making creamed corn in the crock pot for years now.  It is easy and saves so much time and never fails me.

When it comes to holiday foods I am all ears…and stomach!

I love preparing the side dishes for Thanksgiving and Christmas spreads. This baked corn casserole is a real delight to have sitting on your dinner table. You have so many textures going on within the casserole such as creaminess, crunchiness, and those amazing little kernels of corn that seem to pop in your mouth as you eat them. Yummy! Plus, you can enjoy holiday foods all year ’round, especially casseroles such as this. Who doesn’t enjoy munching on corn during each of the four seasons?

This baked corn casserole is one of my husbands favorite holiday side dishes and my kids love it as well. I haven’t made it every year but I think I am going to start because whenever I leave it off the menu someone will always ask, “Where’s the corn casserole?”

That’s not going to happen this year! So, just remember, if you plan on dining with us for the holidays this season you’ll be getting a hefty helping of this fabulous corn casserole on your plate 🙂

You are just 5 ingredients away from enjoying this amazing casserole!

Nothing says southern charm like a traditional corn casserole. This side dish is both savory and sweet, composed of just a few ingredients that we know you have sitting in your pantry this very moment. Serve it as a side dish on family dinner night or take it along with you to a potluck. I enjoy making this casserole on those chilly fall or winter evenings when everyone has had a long day at work and school. What better way to make your tummy feel comforted than a piping hot dish like this?

You’ll be amazed at how fast you can put this delicious concoction together made from ingredients like cream corn, cornmeal mix, and melted butter. Corn casserole pairs well with spare ribs, collard greens, and flaky buttermilk biscuits. Be warned, one scoopful is never enough!

My husband and kids absolutely adored this yummy casserole and were eagerly asking for seconds. We had a bit of casserole leftover so my hubby took them to work the next day and ate them for lunch. He said his co-workers, a bunch of burly mechanics, were wishing they had some 🙂
