We have a few family favorites when it comes to Thanksgiving, as I’m sure you do, but I always think it’s fun to discover what foods other families enjoy for the holidays. You never know when you are going to find a new favorite! This simple Southern Corn Pudding Casserole has been a part of our family Thanksgiving for as long as I can remember. It’s so easy to throw together that my 9-year-old can do it but the simple flavor is a great addition to any feast.

We have a few staples at our Thanksgiving table and this Southern Corn Pudding Casserole is one of them.

I grew up in Virginia, just outside of Washington D.C. We never considered ourselves very southern but our neighbor was from Alabama and we had several other friends from the deep south. One of them shared this recipe with us years and years ago and we’ve been making it ever since.

We always just called this corn casserole but in the south, it is known as corn pudding. I split the difference and my family now calls it Corn Pudding Casserole.

This dish has such simple flavors but it is absolutely delicious. I know people who refuse to have Thanksgiving dinner without a green bean casserole. For me, it isn’t Thanksgiving without Corn Pudding.

We LOVE this as a Thanksgiving side dish but because it is so easy to make we make it as a side dish all fall.

Corn Pudding Casserole Ingredients

• 1 can of creamed corn
• 1 can of whole kernel corn
• 3 eggs, beaten well
• 3/4 cup of Italian bread crumbs
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 t salt
• 1/2 t pepper
• 2/3 stick melted butter
• 1 t sugar
• Parsley (optional)

Corn Pudding Casserole Preparation

This is about as easy as it gets.

Mix all the ingredients together and pour into a baking dish.

Sprinkle the top with extra bread crumbs.

I like panko bread crumbs for this because they are nice and big.

Dot the top with butter.

Bake at 325º for 30-35 minutes.

Optional: Chop parsley finely and sprinkle on top if you want a bit of color.

Tip: This is a great dish to make the day before. Throw it in the oven to reheat about 30 minutes before you are ready for your meal.
