Corn casserole is a tradition in my household for the holidays. This is my Grand Aunt Janie’s recipe and it comes out soft, buttery, and just sweet enough to keep you going back for another scoop. Whether it’s a holiday dinner, a Sunday spread, or just some random weeknight comfort, I know you’re going to love it!
While I love corn casserole, I love cornbread just as much! Serve with a side of collard greens, whew chile!
