Flavorful Cream Corn Casserole is an easy side dish that your family will love for a weeknight meal or a holiday feast.
This dish was first served at a Thanksgiving meal years ago. Soft and creamy, this casserole is ready in a flash and a hearty side dish. Simple ingredients make it a recipe you can pull together from ingredients right from your pantry.
Casserole Ingredients
This recipe starts with a dry base of cornbread ingredients including cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Adding creamed corn, corn, cheddar cheese, sour cream, butter, milk, and egg add the wet ingredients. Mixed together and baked for 20-25 minutes will produce a soft and hearty side dish.
Adjustments and Substitutions
You can substitute a cornbread mix for the dry ingredients.
If you just have the creamed corn, you can omit the plain corn.
Out of shredded cheddar cheese? You can skip the cheese or add a different shredded cheese such as gouda, Colby Jack, or another mild favorite.

Leanne
I am confused. Are these ingredients really a part of the Mediterranean diet?
Thanks

Dear Leanne,
You are correct! Cream Corn Casserole is not a recipe I would suggest for everyday meals when following the Mediterranean diet. It is a family favorite I thought I would share.
My recipe collection is a mixture of mostly healthy recipes you can regularly enjoy when following the Mediterranean diet and a few favorites you would probably want to reserve for special occasions. Watching serving size is crucial when enjoying these recipes. The great thing about the Mediterranean diet is no food is totally eliminated.
