This barely-sweet side dish is one of my favorites to pair with decadent holiday meals because it’s pretty, custardy, and creamy, but that’s not the only time you’ll find it on my table. When corn hits its peak season in the summer, one of the first things I make with it is this corn pudding. Honestly, I even eat it for breakfast or an afternoon snack because, believe it or not, corn pudding and coffee are amazing together. ☕️ Besides ticking all the boxes for a corn lover like me, this recipe is seriously easy to make. Literally, you toss all the ingredients in a casserole dish, mix them up, and bake for just under an hour. It cannot get any easier than that! 🙌

Recipe Ingredients

Make-Ahead Instructions

Prepare this dish ahead of time by mixing up all the ingredients, sealing your mixing dish with plastic wrap, and letting it sit in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Alternatively, you can bake it two days before serving it. Let the casserole cool completely before sealing your casserole dish with a lid or plastic wrap and storing it in the fridge. To reheat, pop it in a 300℉/150℃ oven for 10-20 minutes.

Serving and Storage Instructions

Serve corn pudding fresh from the oven steaming hot or chilled from the fridge. It tastes fantastic both ways, so it comes down to your preference. 😉 Store leftover corn pudding in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days. To reheat, you can put the whole casserole dish back in the oven, uncovered, for 10-20 minutes at 300℉/150℃. You can also reheat individually-sized portions in the microwave.

What Goes With Corn Pudding

I love it goes great with roasted meat, like roasted chicken, turkey, or even smoked ham. It also pairs well with other sides, particularly Southern favorites. Try it with green bean casserole, sweet potato salad, or Southern mustard greens. 😋
