Cream Corn Casserole Recipe

by 46 Comments

This is by far the best cream corn casserole recipe you will ever make! Made with a sleeve of Ritz crackers and lots of cheddar cheese it’s a fabulous vegetable side dish during the holidays or year round. Just throw everything together and bake for a sweet cheesy dish that goes great with ham or turkey.

cream corn casserole recipe This is the best cream corn casserole recipe! It’s so good that we not only make it for sure during Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas, but serve it year round! Ok so really it was my sister in law who made it first many years ago. Thanksgiving just isn’t complete without it so I thought I’d share it with you too. Everyone loved this recipe and it has become my favorite side dish too. It feeds way more than the 5 of us but leftovers the next day are incredible too! It’s one of our favorite quick and easy casseroles.  (originally published 12/13, affiliate links present)

  • Our cream corn casserole recipe is on our list of leftover ham recipes too. Dice it up and throw it right into this corn pudding for a hearty meal too.

Mix all the ingredients listed together (except 1/4 cup of the shredded cheddar and melted butter). Make sure you drain the 3 cans of corn before adding those in. 😉

If you want a smaller batch for dinner just cut everything in half when making this creamed corn casserole. I wouldn’t recommend double the recipe because it won’t cook evenly.

  • The above is good during Easter, Thanksgiving, or Christmas time though with a group of 8-12 people.

Use 1 sleeve of Ritz crackers (or generic brand of Ritz). Put them in a gallon storage bag and smash until really small. Then add to your mixture. Kids love helping with this part!

Here is everything you need to make this cream corn casserole recipe with Ritz crackers

  1. Corn muffin mix
    1. If you aren’t familiar with the cornbread mix I used you can find the Jiffy corn muffin mix I used here.
    2. If you cannot find that you could try using another cornbread mix that only requires you to add egg and milk and use 8.5 oz. of that. But you should be able to order it using the link above.
  2. Milk
  3. Ritz crackers
  4. Cheese – we like sharp cheddar
  5. Butter
  6. Cream corn
  7. Corn
    1. Whole kernel canned regular or sweet corn, not creamed corn.
  8. Eggs
  9. Large bowl
  10. Baking dish – this is mine

Here’s a video to show you how to make this easy corn casserole recipe

  • First preheat oven to 350
  • Mix ingredients
  • Pour it into your casserole dish. I love this one because it has a top you can pop on to keep warm and transport it .
  • Use half a stick of butter and slice small slices of that and shove it in the top of the casserole. Then sprinkle 1/4 cup of remaining cheese on top of that.
  • Bake for about 35 min or until edges look slightly golden brown. The cooking time is important because you don’t want to overcook it. You want it moist like corn pudding.

I have made a version of Crock Pot corn casserole but I will tell you it’s better in the oven. It doesn’t cook as evenly in your slow cooker and the top doesn’t get that nice golden crispiness. I WOULD suggest however that you cook it using this method and then transfer it to your crockpot to stay warm. Especially if you have a large gathering and multiple dishes this can be the way to go!

    Added a small can of chopped green chilies (Hatch) adds a great compliment of flavor. Love the recipe.

    First, I need to say that I LOVE this recipe! It is my go to for any family get together. I was wondering however, if you are aware of a way to make this in a crockpot to make sure that it stays warm throughout a potluck meal? If you can give me any tips to make this in a crockpot I would greatly appreciate it!

      OH good, so glad you love it too. Here is my 2 cents about this and a crockpot. I have tried it and I’d recommend making it as is as you’ve done many times in the oven, then transfer it to a crockpot and put it on warm. If you cook it in a crockpot directly the outside will get too well done by the time the middle is cooked thru and it doesn’t have the same consistency and just doesn’t turn out as well. Hope that helps.

    Can this casserole be cooked ahead of time and frozen, then taken out of freezer to cook on the daywe plan on serving?

      I have made and brought uncooked and then popped it in the oven at their house and it works great. If reheating I would initially cook it shy of finishing and stick it in for the last 10 minutes maybe there or else it will overcook if you precook and recook again there.

    Do you think you could make this the day before and refrigerate, then just pop into the oven on Thanksgiving?

      I haven’t done that but I don’t see there being a problem. I’ve made it in the morning, put a lid on it, taken it to someone’s house and cooked it later that day and it was fine so I’m thinking overnight would be a similar outcome.
