    Corn casserole has long been a beloved Thanksgiving side dish, and for good reason! This creamy and comforting dish is the perfect addition to any holiday spread.

    One of the reasons why corn casserole is so popular is its simplicity and of course from the southern queen, Paula Deen. With just a few basic ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that will have everyone asking for seconds.

    Another reason why corn casserole is such a crowd-pleaser is its versatility. While the classic version calls for Jiffy mix and creamed corn, there are countless variations out there to suit different taste preferences. You can add cheese, bacon, jalapenos, or herbs to give it an extra kick of flavor.

    Not only does this corn casserole recipe taste amazing, but it also adds some vibrant color to your Thanksgiving table. The golden hue of the baked dish creates an inviting visual appeal that complements other traditional dishes like roasted turkey and cranberry sauce.

    If you’re looking for an easy yet impressive side dish at your Thanksgiving feast, give corn casserole a try!

    FAQs

    Yes, you can use either fresh, frozen or canned corn for this recipe. Don’t substitute the cream corn though.

    A 9X13 baking dish is the best size to use and it can be square, round or oval. I used an oval 9X13 inch baking dish and it turned out great.
