Cream Cheese Corn Casserole

This Cream Cheese Corn Casserole is a creamy, cheesy, and comforting side dish that’s perfect for holiday dinners, potlucks, or any meal. Simple, quick, and a guaranteed crowd-pleaser!

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

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 a touch of 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 Your Oven: Before anything else, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with a bit of butter or nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the whole kernel corn, creamed corn, cream cheese, melted butter, milk, sugar (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir the mixture until the cream cheese is thoroughly blended, creating a smooth and creamy texture.
  3. Assemble and Bake: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. If you love cheesy casseroles, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and lightly golden on top.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Let the casserole cool for about 5 minutes after removing it from the oven. Sprinkle chopped green onions on top for a pop of color and extra flavor before serving. Enjoy this warm, hearty dish with friends and family!

Notes

  • Make It Crunchy: Add crushed Ritz crackers or French fried onions on top for an irresistible crunch. Simply sprinkle them on during the last 5 minutes of baking.
  • Add a Kick: For a spicier version, toss in diced jalapeños or a dash of cayenne pepper.
  • Perfect Pairing: This casserole complements roasted meats, grilled chicken, or turkey beautifully, making it ideal for holiday spreads.
  • Make Ahead: Prepare the mixture a day in advance and store it in the fridge. When you’re ready to serve, pop it in the oven and bake as directed.
