Description

Cream Cheese Corn Casserole is the ultimate comfort side dish, offering a blend of creamy, cheesy flavors with a touch of sweetness from corn. Each bite melts in your mouth, with the smoothness of cream cheese balanced by the light crunch of corn kernels. Topped with golden cheddar cheese and a sprinkle of fresh green onions, this casserole is both a visual and flavorful delight.


Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 cans (15 oz each) whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 can (15 oz) creamed corn
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened and cut into cubes
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, for added sweetness)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for topping)
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Prepare the Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained whole kernel corn, creamed corn, cream cheese, melted butter, milk, sugar (if using), salt, and black pepper. Stir until the cream cheese is well incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Bake the Casserole: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. If using, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the top is lightly golden.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for about 5 minutes. If desired, sprinkle with chopped green onions for extra color and flavor.

Notes

  • For Added Crunch: Sprinkle crushed Ritz crackers or French fried onions on top during the last 5 minutes of baking.
  • Perfect Pairing: This creamy corn casserole complements holiday meals or pairs beautifully with grilled meats.
