Description

This delicious Corn Casserole recipe is a creamy, comforting side dish perfect for family dinners or holiday meals. Made without Jiffy mix, it features a smooth blend of whole kernel and creamed corn, baked with butter, eggs, milk, and a hint of nutmeg for a slightly sweet and savory flavor. Topped with fresh parsley, it’s an easy-to-make casserole that yields a golden, set center with a tender crumb.


Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 cup whole milk (room temperature)

Dry Ingredients

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Corn

  • 1 15-oz can whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 15-oz can creamed corn

Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (finely chopped)


Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 11×7-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
  2. Melt Butter: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and let it cool slightly to avoid cooking the eggs in the upcoming mixture.
  3. Create Batter Base: Whisk the flour into the melted butter until the mixture is smooth and lump-free. Then add the sugar, eggs, and milk, whisking thoroughly until well combined and smooth.
  4. Add Corn and Seasonings: Stir in both the creamed corn and the drained whole kernel corn gently. Season the mixture with kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and ground nutmeg, ensuring all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  5. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the prepared mixture into the greased baking dish, smoothing out the top for even baking.
  6. Bake the Casserole: Bake in the preheated oven for 55–65 minutes. The casserole is done when the center is set, the top is golden brown, and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Begin checking doneness at 50 minutes to avoid overbaking.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven, sprinkle with the finely chopped fresh parsley, and let it stand for 5 minutes to set before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure eggs and milk are at room temperature to prevent curdling and to achieve a smooth batter.
  • Adjust sugar amount to taste if you prefer a sweeter or less sweet casserole.
  • This casserole can be made ahead of time and reheated gently before serving.
  • If you want a richer flavor, substitute whole milk with half-and-half or add a bit of shredded cheddar cheese.
  • Use fresh parsley or substitute with chives for garnishing according to preference.
