Corn casseroles are not a very common type of casserole so it’s definitely one to try out if you want to explore different meals and dishes.
Casseroles are a very popular dish eaten all over the world but they usually are made using meats, vegetables, and some kind of starchy binder (like pasta or potatoes).
This makes them very savory and filling so they are usually served as a main dish – but corn casserole is a little different.
Corn is pretty light and sweet in flavor, which means that when it is used in a casserole, it brings a touch of sweetness.
Corn casserole is one of the sweetest types of casseroles and it’s also very creamy and smooth. This makes it stand out against the dense, filling traditional casseroles.
Because of this, corn casserole works as a delicious light casserole to serve during the warmer seasons.
This is because it’s become trendy to serve during the holidays like Thanksgiving when there are tons of other main dishes available. However, you can still eat corn casserole all year round!
So, if you want to try out your own corn casserole, either to serve for Thanksgiving or just to test it out at any point in the year, there is a list of great Paula Deen corn casseroles for you to try out.
Each one has its own twists that make them stand out so there are plenty of unique corn casserole recipes for you to test out! Check them out and good luck!

Frequently Asked Questions
What Dish Goes With Corn Casserole?
Corn casserole sometimes makes an appearance at important holiday dinners usually around Thanksgiving or Christmas.
As a result, it’s usually served alongside lots of other classic holiday dishes like meatloaf – but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy this meal at different times of the year.
This means that there are a ton of different dishes you can serve up alongside a corn casserole. This includes roasted chicken, fried chicken, baked fish, mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and more.
Because corn is an important ingredient in a lot of Mexican cuisines, it is also served with quesadillas.
Why Is My Corn Casserole Runny?
A big issue a lot of people find whenever they make a corn casserole is that it is too runny. This is pretty common even with regular casseroles because they usually contain a lot of vegetables.
Vegetables contain a lot of moisture that is released when they bake – so casseroles sometimes turn out a little bit runny because of this.
To stop your corn casserole from finishing runny, make sure you properly drain your corn kernels before adding them to the casserole.
Casseroles also become thicker the longer they are left to stand so once your casserole is hot out of the oven, leave it to stand for a few minutes so it has time to thicken up.
Alternatively, you can cook your corn casserole just a little longer to help thicken it up by evaporating the moisture in the dish.
How Long Does Corn Casserole Last?
If you want to make your corn casserole in advance and serve it at a later time, then you can totally do that! Corn casserole can be served at a later day if you know how to properly store it.
If you store your corn casserole in an airtight container (or in the casserole dish covered with plastic wrap) in the refrigerator, then it will last for 5 to 7 days!
This means you can make your corn casserole a few days in advance and serve it later. Just remember to reheat your corn casserole before serving!
