This Cornbread Casserole combines the creaminess of corn pudding with the golden crust of classic cornbread for a dish that is soft on the inside and perfectly crisp on top. I love serving it at holiday gatherings, but it also makes the perfect base for a big spoonful of chili.<\/p>\n

Easy cornbread Casserole Recipe<\/h2>\n

This cornbread casserole is pure comfort food and truly the best of both worlds. It combines the creaminess of corn pudding<\/a> with the golden crust of classic cornbread<\/a> for a dish that is moist and soft inside and perfectly crispy on top. I like serving it for big gatherings, and as the cooler months roll in, this casserole becomes exactly what I crave. It comes together with simple, inexpensive pantry staples, which makes it a stress-free addition to my table.<\/p>\n

I love that the flavor is rich and buttery with little bursts of sweet corn in every bite. YUM! The golden crust cracks slightly under my fork, which is the perfect contrast to the creamy interior. Best of all, it is endlessly customizable. To add a little spice, I\u2019ll fold in a few jalape\u00f1os or green chiles, or for a touch more richness, I\u2019ll mix in extra cheese. Sometimes, I\u2019ll even sprinkle fresh herbs or bacon to add more savoriness. However I decide to prepare it, this casserole always delivers.<\/p>\n

  1. Get a firmer casserole. <\/strong>This cornbread casserole comes out creamy and soft in the center with a lightly golden crust. For a firmer casserole, bake for an extra 5 minutes.<\/li>\n
  2. Make-ahead tip.<\/strong> You can mix everything up to a day ahead, cover, and refrigerate. Add a couple of extra minutes to the baking time if it\u2019s cold going into the oven.<\/li>\n
  3. Add-ins.<\/strong> Stir in a diced jalape\u00f1o or a small can of green chiles for a mild kick. Crumbled bacon or diced ham also make great mix-ins.<\/li>\n
  4. Add cheese. <\/strong>Try Monterey Jack or pepper jack for a spicier twist, or double up the cheese for extra gooeyness.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n
