TOP TIPS
- If you found my recipe because you want a corn casserole with whole-kernel corn, then you are in the right place.
- If you found my recipe because you like corn casserole with creamed corn but you don't have any creamed corn, you're ok too. Just take half of your whole-kernel corn and a splash of heavy cream. Use a blender or food processor to lightly puree it, still leaving some small pieces of corn. Mix this "creamed corn" with the whole kernel corn and finish the recipe as written.
- If you have a box of Jiffy corn muffin mix, aka Jiffy Cornbread Mix by some, on hand, you can use it as a delightful alternative to the flour, corn flour, baking soda, and salt in this corn casserole recipe making it a Jiffy corn casserole recipe. It adds a little bit of extra flavor to the dish.
- This casserole can be a great accompaniment to other classic holiday dishes like green bean casserole, my favorite Thanksgiving side dish of all time!
