But what I love best about THIS corn casserole recipe, is that it’s easy enough to serve with BBQ or any weeknight meal as well as it being the perfect holiday side dish.
What is Corn Casserole?
Corn casserole is a dream casserole side dish! It’s a creamy corn mixture that’s baked in a casserole dish and topped with – wait for it – crumbled Ritz crackers! It’s also got a bit of a kick, too, with some green chilies (which you could absolutely leave out if that’s not your vibe). You may have seen it called corn pudding or spoon bread elsewhere. It is a bit like a pudding. I think of it as a hybrid between creamed corn and cornbread. It’s moist and creamy on the inside but buttery and crispy on the outside.

Serving Suggestions
This side dish is perfect with any comfort food! I love to have it with a nice piece of meat, like roasted chicken, pork chops, or steak. Because of the Mexican flavor, it really is so good as a side with enchiladas, chimichangas, or tacos.

How to Store and Reheat Leftovers
If you have leftovers of this corn casserole, you can put them in an airtight storage container or cover the casserole dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 3-5 days. You can also freeze your leftovers in an airtight, freezer safe container. I actually really like this casserole served at room temperature, so there’s no need to reheat it, if you don’t want to. If you do want to reheat, simply pop the casserole dish into the oven at 350F until it’s warm.
