Tips for Making Corn Casserole

• You can add some fresh diced jalapeños for a spicy kick!
• If you double the recipe, use a 9 x 13-inch pan and add time to baking. Start with 10 minutes and keep checking on the casserole.
• Add some fresh herbs to add flavor to this corn pudding.
• Southwest fiesta corn can replace whole-kernel corn.
• Serve this dish with a serving spoon versus cutting it into squares. The squares won’t stay together.
• You can make this dish ahead of time. Mix all the ingredients except the cheddar cheese. Place the dish covered overnight in the fridge. Let the corn pudding come to room temperature before baking for at least 30 minutes.
• Add a savory touch by sprinkling crispy, crumbled bacon on the casserole before serving.
• You can bake your corn casserole in a cast iron skillet for a rustic presentation.
• Add a touch of sweetness by drizzling honey or maple syrup over the top of the casserole before serving. Honey pairs well with the savory and sweet flavors of the dish.
• Turn the casserole into bite-sized appetizers by baking it in a mini muffin tin. These make perfect finger foods for parties. You will have to reduce the baking time.

Storage

Store the casserole in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.

Freezing

Let the casserole cool in the refrigerator overnight. In the morning, divide up the pudding into individual portions and place in freezer bags or containers.
