You’re feeling better already, aren’t you? If you check out Paula Deen Corn Casserole nutrition, you’ll see it’s very close to our nutritional data.
How Do You Make Paula Deen Corn Casserole?
It’s so easy to whip up this casserole that when it’s ready to go in the oven you’ll wonder how you finished so quickly. Preheat the oven to 350 and lightly grease a 9×13 baking dish. Combine all ingredients except the shredded cheddar and bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown. Sprinkle the cheese on the top and pop it back in the oven to melt, 5-10 minutes should do the trick! Let it cool and serve warm.

Recipe Notes For Paula Deen Corn Casserole:
Greek Yogurt: You can substitute plain Greek yogurt for sour cream in this recipe if you’d like a punch of protein and a dash of health.
Cheese: If you’re in the “you can’t have too much cheese” camp, then go ahead and add more cheese to the mixture and heck, why not throw a little more on top. ½ A cup will do it and besides, it’ll add a bit of extra gooey goodness.
What Do You Serve With Paula Deen Corn Casserole?
Like the corn casserole Pioneer Woman makes, this recipe is most often used as a side. I like to throw together a crisp hearty green salad, stuffed with veggies. It’s nice and cool and compliments the warmth of the casserole well. You can serve it with grilled or baked chicken breast, (1) Crock Pot Pork Chops, (2)Pulled Chicken, (3) Pulled Pork Sandwiched, (4) Southern Smothered Chicken, (5) Chicken Lazone, (6) Crock Pot Pork Tenderloin, (7) Jambalaya, or (8) Blackened Chicken, (9) Mississippi Pot Roast, (10) Crock Pot Ranch Pork Chops, and, even as a Thanksgiving side! I think you’ll find that this casserole compliments almost anything. It’s a versatile dish, so in all honesty, it’s hard to mess it up.
Can You Make Paula Deen Corn Casserole Ahead Of Time?
If you’re a regular reader, you know we love making ahead! We know it saves you time, and that makes us happy. And yes, you can make it ahead of time! Mix all ingredients (leave out the cheese), and pour them into the pan. Cover tightly and refrigerate until you’re ready to bake. I’d say make it no more than 48 hours in advance, 24 is even better!
How Do You Freeze Paula Deen Corn Casserole?
Yes, you can freeze Paula Deen Corn Casserole, but you’ll want to do it after it’s already been baked. You can freeze it in its entirety, or portion out your leftovers. Follow food safety guidelines when freezing. Let it thaw in the fridge and then heat through. The oven or microwave will do!

I am from Texas and we like food spicy here!! I chopped up two jalapenos and added it to the mix! I was amazing!!
Oh my goodness that sounds delicious, Michelle! So glad you shared <3
I live in Canada and can’t find any corn muffin mix. Can you tell me what to use for substitution? I would really like to make this recipe. Thxs
Hi, Dar. Thanks for asking. I found this https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/bobs-red-mill-cornbread-muffin-mix-680-g/879546 or you can make your own mix: https://www.geniuskitchen.com/recipe/jiffy-corn-muffin-mix-copycat-345502 . I hope this helps!
What size baking dish do you use, 9×13”?
Yes, exactly! <3
I love anything Paula makes, but I don’t care for the texture of the whole corn in this can I just use 2 cans cream corn? I dearly love this recipe…..except for the whole corn…I just pick mine out.
I’m with you. LOVE everything Paula makes. Perfect solution to customize the corn casserole, Carole! 🙂
We had a Thanksgiving meal as a company where I worked before retiring. After bringing this recipe the first year, that was the dish I was always to bring! I had to double the recipe and adapted it to cook in a slow cooker so it wouldn’t need the limited space we had in microwaves and toaster ovens. I also liked it extra cheesy and used about a pound of cheese in the mix and a generous amount of cheese on the top as well. It was consistently scraped from the pot leaving just a minute residue in the bottom. The only thing missing from the crockpot was the slightly crunchy top. I tried bringing a torch to create the crust one year, but management put the kybosh on the idea (fire laws and all…) It’s also the one side that’s mandatory with our Thanksgiving dinner at Home
I love your story, Bruce! This is always a favorite dish whenever I bring it too! Everyone LOVES it!! 🙂
OMG, Kathleen we tried this last night and couldn’t stop eating it! AMAZING!!
I’m so happy you liked this Lindsey <3
