What is it about a casserole that makes everyone feel so cozy and comfortable? This creamy corn casserole is one of those recipes, and it’s almost too simple to be this good. Corn is the main ingredient in three different forms. Some casseroles are holiday-specific, and while this gives Thanksgiving vibes, it’s one of my favorite go-to weeknight side dishes. Basically, a Creamy Corn Casserole is good all day, every day.

Corn is used three ways in one: creamed corn, whole corn (canned), and corn bread. The corn is combined with butter, eggs, sour cream, sugar, salt, and pepper.

All of the ingredients are mixed together and poured into the baking dish. My secret: I melt the butter directly in the baking dish, and the corn mixture is poured directly over the melted butter. This will help the edges get nice and crispy. And that’s it! Couldn’t be simpler. The casserole bakes at 350℉ for 40-50 minutes and comes out golden and delicious. Get ready to fight over the corner pieces!

I love this dish because it’s so reliable. It’s a recipe that lives on because it’s remembered in family food memories for being comforting and good. When simple ingredients come together to make an extraordinary dish, that’s a win-win in my book!
