Fresh Corn Casserole

Oct 13, 2021 · 22 Comments

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Today’s casserole is made with fresh corn of the season, a simple roux, and topped with buttery crisp crackers for a simple yet delicious side for the holiday season.

Looking back at past holidays my favorite part has always been the side dishes- particularly the stuffing (or dressing as some call it) and creamed vegetables. There’s a reason why Thanksgiving sandwiches exist. Creamy veggies on top of cranberry sauce on top of turkey on top of stuffing then pressed together and toasted between two slices of sourdough (preferably) is what I look forward to.

Now, since we’re on the topic of creamy vegetables, I know the green bean casserole gets a lot of attention but my personal favorite is the creamy corn casserole, if I had to choose between the two. I was never really a big fan of the green bean casserole unless it’s made from scratch but that requires a lot of steps.

Today’s Fresh Corn Casserole is exceptionally easy to make. It’s creamy without being too heavy, it’s cheesy, and to top it all off, I crumbled buttery crisp crackers to add a nice golden crust to the dish.

There are no boxed mixes to this recipe or canned vegetables. So, through the summer and fall this dish can be made for picnics, cookouts, and holiday dinners alike.

Another favorite part of mine how the balance of the sweet corn and the creamy, herbed roux that I make to thicken it.

It’s naturally healthier than your traditional corn casserole and can be made ahead of time as well.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 ears of fresh corn
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 sweet onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup AP flour

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Remove the corn from the husks.  Rinse the cobs, pat dry, then slice off the kernels of corn.
  • In a large frying pan, heat olive oil with garlic and onion.  Once the onion is translucent, add the corn.  Season with salt, pepper, and fresh thyme.  Cook for about 5 minutes, until the corn has softened.  Remove from heat.

  • Add the corn mixture to the casserole dish with the grated cheese.  Toss with the roux until well incorporated.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together eggs and whole milk.  Pour over the corn mixture.  Sprinkle with the crushed crackers and bake until the casserole has set and is nicely golden, about 30-35 minutes.

    I’ve never made a corn casserole without my cornbread mix but I love the sound of the garlic and thyme as well as the addition of the sharp tang of Parmesan cheese. Sure to be one to try for Thanksgiving.

    We love corn casserole and I was going to save this recipe for our Thanksgiving dinner. It looked too good to keep until then so I made it to go with our rotisserie chicken. WOW!! The flavor was scrumptious. The fresh corn really made the difference and the buttery Ritz crackers finished off the casserole perfectly. I can’t wait to make it again for Turkey day!!

    A good corn casserole gets me every time and this one was better than most! I love that it’s prepared with fresh ingredients rather than canned. The Ritz cracker topping was the perfect finishing touch.
