We loved this BUT I did add some fresh diced jalapeños to cut the sweetness a little bit. We are a more savory cornbread family. I tripled the recipe and brought to a huge thanksgiving potluck for veterans and it was a fave!

Ladies you don't know what you are missing not using the 1 stick of butter. That 1 stick of butter is what makes it .

Karen I noticed the same discrepancy on other sites listing this recipe and never noticed it was 1/2 CUP on here. On other sites it sure says 1/2 STICK (1/4 cup). Your comment made me realize I might be using less butter than I was supposed to but it always turns out great so I think I'll stick with the 1/2 stick. Another discrepancy on a popular site was using the wrong pan size. It called for 9x13 and it should be a square glass pan or a small-medium casserole dish. I would stick with this site and the best part is the video of Paula making it!!!!

Doesn’t say what size casserole dish?

I noticed it says to use butter but my question is should it be salted or unsalted butter ?

December 03, 2024

It is totally a matter of preference! Paula prefers salted!

Anyone used aunt Martha's yellow cornbread mix instead of Jiffy? Don't like sweet. No eggs?

I'm not crazy about sweet corn bread.  Have Aunt Martha's yellow cornbread mix instead.  Even though the cornbread mix uses eggs, you don't use eggs in the casserole?  I guess the sour cream replaces the milk?

Try Paula's cornbread mix and doesn't prefer sweet cornbread either! https://pauladeenshop.com/collections/baking-mixes/products/paula-deens-cornbread-mix-12-oz

I was thinking of trying this in a crockpot to save oven space. Has anyone given it a try?

That should work out great in the crockpot!

Do I use a 9x9 or 8x8 pan for the corn casserole?

March 21, 2022

Either will work but most bake in a 8x8 pan!

Can I just use whole corn if I don't have cream corn and use a little milk for some moisture for the corn casserole

I have both put a can of whole kernel corn in the food processor with heavy cream and salt, and just used a can of whole kernel and mixed it in with heavy cream. Both turned out, the food processor version was better but this stuff is so good it's hard to screw up. Also, I don't put the cheese in top because it doesn't stick, just pulls off, so I put about a handful in the actual corn mixture and cooked for an extra 5 minutes or more.

Can the corn casserole be made a day or two prior to baking?

November 23, 2021

You can put it together ahead of time and bake the day of!

Can this be made in advance and not baked until ready to serve?

April 22, 2021

Yes you can make this up to 2 days in advance before baking.

I always make this for thanksgiving. Can you make this the night before? And if so, do you need to increase the temp or time?

The Deen Team

November 30, 2020

Yes, it can be made the night before and you can just reheat the baked casserole, covered on 350?F.
