When it comes to holiday side dishes, we always have the classics on our table like sweet potato casserole, mashed potatoes, and this delicious corn pudding. Corn casserole is a must-have for Thanksgiving, Christmas and any other family gathering.

Corn pudding is one of those recipes that never goes out of style. The slightly crisp exterior gives way to a fluffy and creamy center with plenty of corn flavor. It’s kind of like the ultimate cornbread! My kids request corn pudding for every special occasion and I’m always happy to oblige.

How do you make corn pudding?

For this recipe, you’ll need a box of cornbread mix, corn kernels, creamed corn, butter, eggs, sugar and sour cream. Everything goes into a big bowl to get mixed together to create the batter.  Place your corn pudding in the oven, bake until golden brown, then enjoy!

Tips for corn pudding

  • This dish can be assembled up to one day before you plan to bake it. Simply cover your baking dish with foil and refrigerate until you’re ready to cook. You may need to add a few more minutes to the baking time because you’re starting with a cold casserole.
  • If you’re looking to save a few calories, you can use light sour cream and reduce the amount of butter by 2 tablespoons.
  • This dish is best served fresh from the oven. If you need to reheat it, cut it into slices and microwave until warm.
  • You can use fresh or frozen corn instead of canned if you prefer.

Corn pudding variations

  • Mexican Corn Pudding: Add a can of diced green chiles and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
  • Bacon Corn Pudding: Add 3/4 cup cooked crumbled bacon.
  • Sweet Corn Pudding: Increase the amount of sugar to 3 tablespoons.
  • Spicy Corn Pudding: Add 1 cup of pepper jack cheese and 1/4 cup diced pickled jalapenos.

Looking to make corn pudding for a crowd? You can easily double this recipe and bake it in a 9″ x 13″ dish to serve more people. You will need to increase the bake time a bit, so keep a close eye on your casserole.

I like to serve corn pudding with a sprinkling of fresh herbs for garnish. I’ve used chives here, but other great options are dill, parsley or green onions.

Corn pudding is the perfect side dish to serve alongside ham, turkey, chicken or beef. It’s a welcome addition to any menu and best of all, it only takes about 5 minutes to prep! How can you go wrong with that?

      My husband hates sour cream and can detect it in anything. What do you think about using Greek yogurt or something else instead?

      This looks delicious. Any ideas for subbing out the sour cream?

      Delicious! I made this recipe for a potluck and people were absolutely swooning. I had four separate people ask me for the recipe. I doubled the recipe and there was not a tablespoon left. It did take about 20 or so minutes longer to finish baking in a deep foil dish.
      I browned the butter instead of just using melted butter, and I think that added another layer flavor. But it’s still delish even if you don’t bother.

      I have been making this recipe for years to serve with chili. It is the perfect compliment and much more delicious alternative to corn bread. Very caloric and certainly not made with “clean” healthy ingredients, but it is a treat and if baked in an attractive dish can present as a soufflé type dish. Oh, and I must not forget to mention that it smells heavenly!

      This sounds like a very easy recipe to make, but in the same time full of flavour. I do like corn but never had a corn pudding before.

      That looks delicious. I’ve had a lot of desserts and a lot of corn dishes in my time, but I’ve never had corn as a dessert.
