Paula Deen’s Corn Casserole

It doesn’t get much easier than this dump and go recipe from Paula Deen. This side dish is perfect for the holidays and goes with SO many of my favorite dinner recipes.

How to Make it

This Corn Casserole recipe can be made in the oven or in the Crock Pot:

Creamed Corn Whole Kernel Sweet Corn– Don’t forget to drain it! Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix Sour Cream Butter Cheddar Cheese– Buy a block and shred it yourself. It’s creamier and has better flavor.

Oven Method:

Combine all of the ingredients except for the cheese.

Place in a lightly greased 9 x 13 casserole dish or a 10-inch cast iron skillet.

Bake uncovered at 350°F for 45 minutes.

Top with cheese. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until the top is golden.

Let stand for 5 minutes prior to serving.

**An alternative method is to top the unbaked casserole with cheese right away, and bake it (covered), for 55-60 minutes. Paula’s method is as described above, but I have done it both ways with equal success.

Crock Pot Method

Combine all ingredients except for the cheddar cheese. Be sure to drain the whole kernel corn first. Add it to a lightly greased Crock Pot. Cook on high for 2-3 hours or on low for 4. Add the shredded cheddar during the last 20 minutes of cooking. Ensure the center is firm and set prior to serving.

Make-Ahead Method

This is an easy recipe to make up to 2 days ahead of time. Here’s how: Method 1: Assemble and Refrigerate

Combine all ingredients except for the cheese and place in casserole dish. Cover with saran wrap and refrigerate until ready to bake. Let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes prior to baking, then bake as outlined

Method 2: Bake and Reheat

Bake covered at 350° for 50 minutes, let it cool, and refrigerate. Add the shredded cheese, cover it, and bake it at 300° for 10 minutes to warm it up. Bake again, uncovered at 350° for 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted. Serve.

Adding Sugar

-If you prefer a sweeter corn casserole, you can add up to 2 Tablespoons of granulated sugar to the mix, although the cornbread mix does have some sweetness to it already.
