corn casserole

Creamy maize dish

Corn casserole is a baked American side dish combining corn kernels, creamed corn, and a buttery base—typically made with cornbread mix and sour cream.

The result is soft, sweet, and custardy rather than crisp.

It appears frequently at Thanksgiving, potlucks, and church suppers, especially in the South and Midwest: Aunt Linda always brings her corn casserole to holiday dinners.
