Sweet Corn Casserole

Sweet Corn Casserole blends the savory flavor of cornbread stuffing with the sweetness of corn to make a yummy southern side dish. It's great with Southern BBQ or served alongside turkey at Thanksgiving!

What Makes This Recipe Special?

I came up with this easy recipe after eating at a Restaurant in Asheville and falling in love with their corn casserole. It was thicker than usual and I couldn't get enough!

This recipe is quick, easy, and absolutely delicious. Once you take a bite, you'll wonder why you've never made it before! It's perfect for Thanksgiving and can even be substituted for dressing, or served with the rest of your holiday sides.

The best part is you can make and bake it in the same skillet or oven-safe dish! Clean-up is a snap since there are less dishes to wash. What's not to love?

What's the Difference Between Corn Pudding and Corn Casserole?

In the south, sometimes it's hard to tell the difference. Everyone has their own version, but most corn puddings are creamier than corn casseroles. Old fashioned corn pudding is usually made with flour, sugar, eggs and cream.

Sweet Corn Casserole is different than other recipes you've tried because the ingredients start with cornbread stuffing mix. It's not the Jiffy recipe you've probably made before. There's no sour cream in this dish, but you add half and half cream at the very end which makes it dense and rich.

Ingredients You'll Need

There are 9 easy ingredients in this casserole, and it comes together in a flash. You'll need stuffing mix, cream style corn, sweet corn kernels, butter, onion, sugar, garlic salt, eggs and half and half. (Quantities are in the recipe card below.)

How to Make It

Pour stuffing mix into cast iron skillet (ad) or oven safe casserole dish which is at least 13 x 9 inches. Add boiling water and stir. Cut butter into slices and place on top of stuffing. Stir until butter melts.

Add creamed corn, whole sweet corn and diced onions to mixture. Stir well. Mix in half & half, garlic salt, and sugar. Stir in the beaten eggs.

Bake casserole in skillet in 350 degree oven for 45 minutes until golden brown and crunchy on top.
