Preparation
Can you make corn casserole ahead of time?
Totally! Bake it up to 3 days ahead and store it covered in the refrigerator or freezer. Warm in the oven on 350F for 15 – 20 minutes before serving. If baking from frozen add about 30 minutes to the cook time and cover for the first half hour.
Is corn casserole supposed to be mushy?
Yes, the outside should be golden and browned but the inside should have a soft and moist texture to it.
Can I make it in individual servings?
Try making the corn casserole in cupcake liners so they’re easy to serve individually! This is also a great way to freeze them and enjoy one at a time in single serve portions.
Bake until edges are turning golden brown.
Leftovers and storage
How long does corn casserole last?
Leftovers will keep for 4 – 5 days in the refrigerator or up to 6 months in the freezer. Cover tightly before storing.
Can you freeze corn casserole?
You can freeze corn casserole. Bake, then allow to cool completely. Store in the baking container or cut into individual slices and layer with parchment paper.
You can also bake the casserole into muffin liners so they will be easy to freeze individually.
When finished the outside and edges should be set but the center should still be very moist.
Easy corn casserole variations
🔥 Make it spicy by stirring a tablespoon or two of diced pickled jalapenos into the batter.
🧈 Try serving it with a dollop of whipped butter for extra decadence.
🍗 Add some shredded baked chicken to make it a whole meal.
🥓 Everything’s better with bacon, so mix some crumbled oven cooked bacon into the batter.
It should not be so wet the you can’t lift it out of the dish cleanly.
What to eat with homemade corn casserole? (Serving suggestions)
We serve this all year long, but it’s especially prevalent during the fall and winter holidays. We like it alongside easy green bean casserole, crock pot ham, and quick yeast dinner rolls. And don’t forget the homemade pecan pie for dessert!
