This simple and delicious corn casserole is a little bit cornbread and a little bit creamed corn soufflé. Its easy and a hands down favorite side dish for the holidays and family gatherings!
Thanksgiving is fast approaching and that means this corn casserole will be on the table, best described as a cross between cornbread and creamy corn soufflé with a golden brown top. Some call it corn pudding or corn casserole or escalloped corn, but in my family, its corn soufflé!
This family holiday side dish became a must-have on our table because of my middle daughter. When she was 13, she announced at the dinner table that she was no longer going to eat meat. From that day forward, no red meat, chicken or fish, at all. So this side dish became her favorite, and still is.
What is this corn soufflé I speak of? I clipped this recipe out of the paper years ago, and when I recently did some research, I found lots of versions of this corn casserole. Im thinking this might have originated with Jiffy corn muffin mix.
And there you have it, probably the easiest side dish I make on Thanksgiving and any other special family get-together. My three daughters all make this on their own now and after giving them the recipe multiple times, they now have it here. I hope you enjoy this easy, warm and comforting corn soufflé as much as we do. xxo- Kelly
