Main Ingredients
- 3 cups corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned, drained)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup cornmeal
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking the casserole evenly.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn kernels, heavy cream, melted butter, cornmeal, salt, and pepper. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is consistent.
- Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the mixture into a greased 8×8-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly for uniform cooking.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until the casserole is set in the middle and the top is lightly golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. This helps the casserole to firm up and makes it easier to slice.
Notes
- You can use fresh, frozen (thawed and drained), or canned corn depending on availability.
- For a richer flavor, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or add shredded cheese to the mixture.
- Ensure the baking dish is well-greased to prevent sticking.
- To make it gluten-free, verify that the cornmeal is certified gluten-free.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
