Tanis' Supreme Corn Casserole
A creamy, sweet corn casserole with a rich cornbread base, perfect for holiday gatherings or family dinners, offering comforting flavors and a moist texture.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Drain the liquid from the corn so that it covers the corn by about 1/4 inch.
- Mix the drained corn, cream corn, cornbread mix, melted margarine, yogurt or sour cream, sugar, and eggs together until well combined.
- Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 1 hour, or until golden and set.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding diced jalapeños or shredded cheese to the mixture. If you're looking for a gluten-free option, substitute the cornbread mix with a gluten-free blend. Ensure the corn is well-drained to avoid excess moisture, which can make the casserole soggy. This dish can also benefit from a sprinkle of paprika or chili powder for a kick.
Serving Suggestions
This casserole pairs beautifully with grilled meats or roasted vegetables for a complete meal. Consider serving it alongside a fresh salad or with dishes like Oniony Dinner Rolls for a comforting dinner. It can also be enjoyed as a hearty side at potlucks or family gatherings, bringing a delightful sweetness to your table.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes or until heated through. You can also microwave individual portions for a quick meal, but the oven will help maintain the casserole's texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh or frozen corn instead of canned?
Yes, you can use fresh or frozen corn! If using fresh corn, you'll need about 2 cups, and for frozen corn, make sure to thaw and drain it well before mixing it into the batter.
What can I substitute for yogurt or sour cream?
If you don't have yogurt or sour cream, you can use cottage cheese or a dairy-free alternative like almond milk yogurt. This will still keep the casserole moist and flavorful.
Can I make this casserole ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the mixture a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just pour it into a greased baking dish and bake it when you're ready to serve.
