Cheesy Creamy Corn Casserole
We love this creamy corn casserole recipe. It’s the perfect side dish for the holidays but easy enough make for weeknight dinners.
Ingredients Needed
- Canned Cream-style sweet corn/creamed corn. You could use half cream-style corn and half whole kernel corn (fresh, frozen or canned corn kernels) if you want a chunkier casserole.
- Flour.
- Baking powder.
- Salt and black pepper.
- Sugar.
- Cayenne pepper.
- Garlic powder.
- Eggs.
- Sour cream.
- Cheddar cheese. I used sharp cheddar cheese but any good melting cheese will work. Monterey Jack, gouda, gruyere, mozzarella or Swiss cheese will all be delicious.
- Variations: Add sautéed bacon, onions or garlic. Fresh herbs like sage, thyme or chives will also be delicious.
How to make Corn Casserole
Whisk together all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream-style corn, eggs and sour cream. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry mixture then mix together until combined. Stir in the cheese. Grease a 13x9inch (22x33cm) casserole dish/baking dish (a skillet works too) with butter or non-stick cooking spray then add the batter. Place in a preheated oven and allow to bake for 25-30 minutes until a skewers inserted comes out clean and the casserole is golden brown on top. Brush with melted butter (optional) then serve.
Can I make this ahead?
The creamed corn casserole recipe can be baked up to 6 hours in advance then covered with foil. Reheat in the oven for 10 minutes before serving. Leftovers can be kept in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Serving Suggestions
This is the perfect Thanksgiving, Christmas or Easter side dish so serving it with turkey, mashed potatoes, Brussels sprouts and green bean casserole is perfect. We also love it with roast chicken or pork chops for weeknight dinner.

Corn casserole is definitely more moist than cornbread and should have a soft almost creamy crumb and texture.
