Corn Casserole

Here is a from-scratch version of the classic corn casserole, a popular holiday side dish in the southeastern United States that is traditionally made using store-bought Jiffy cornbread mix. If you’ve never had corn casserole before, you’re really missing out: It’s like an incredibly moist cornbread studded with fresh corn kernels. (Frozen corn can be used in the cold weather months.) Two pounds of corn kernels are bound together with a simple batter of flour, baking powder, cornmeal, Cheddar, eggs, melted butter and sour cream, then poured into a baking pan, topped with more cheese, and baked until bubbly. Fresh rosemary and scallions, untraditional and optional additions, add savory notes that balance out the sweetness of the corn.

About this Recipe

Craving a hearty, satisfying meal that brings everyone to the table? This Tex-Mex Casserole is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser, delivering comforting flavors that are big on taste without being overly spicy, making it perfect for the whole family.

This beloved casserole stands out by blending classic Tex-Mex ingredients with a creamy, rich sauce that's perfect for those who enjoy a milder flavor profile. The genius lies in the combination of savory ground beef, aromatic onion, vibrant green enchilada sauce, and the subtle richness from both cream of mushroom and cream of chicken soups.

Prepare for a deliciously layered experience where tender ground beef and savory onion are enveloped in a velvety, flavorful sauce. Each bite offers a satisfying interplay of Tex-Mex spices, softened broken taco shells that soak up all the goodness, and a generous topping of melted cheddar cheese. It’s a comforting, family-friendly dish that balances creamy textures with a gentle, zesty kick, creating a meal that feels both familiar and exciting.

For a different protein, consider ground turkey or a plant-based crumble. To add more vegetables, stir in diced bell peppers or corn with the ground beef. If you prefer a spicier kick, a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of your favorite hot sauce can be added to the meat mixture.

This Tex-Mex casserole is ideal for weeknight dinners, potlucks, or any occasion where you need a substantial, comforting meal. Serve it alongside a simple green salad or a dollop of sour cream for an extra creamy finish.
