Southern Corn Pudding Casserole is the delicious iconic classic casserole that was made by grannie, especially for Sunday dinners, holidays, and church potlucks, that has a sweet, cheesy golden layer, and a delicious, creamy corn center that everyone loved.
I can’t even begin to explain how incredible this oldie, but goodie Southern Corn Pudding Casserole recipe is. It has so many wonderful flavors and textures that combine into a beautiful casserole that everyone seems to devour at a moment’s notice. It would seem you can’t just stick to one helping of it.
Corn Pudding Casserole is one of my all-time favorite Southern Speciality dishes, and I say specialty dishes because we only serve it on special occasions such as Sunday dinners, holidays, and church potlucks due to being deliciously fattening. Yes, I said it and meant it lol!!! This casserole also goes well with almost any meat such as chicken, turkey, beef, ham, and fried pork chops.
Have you ever had the pleasure of sinking a fork into Corn pudding? If not, you seriously have to as soon as possible. You have been missing out on a fantastic Classic Southern casserole. This casserole will be a hit at your next Sunday sitdown dinner. Trust me, even the children will ask for seconds on this one.

Frequently asked questions about Southern Corn Pudding Casserole
-
What does non-GMO stand for? Non-genetically modified
-
Do I have to use organic ingredients? Absolutely not, that is just my personal preference for components used in my recipes.
-
What does all-natural mean? It means that the ingredient listed does not contain artificial ingredients or preservatives, and the ingredients are only minimally processed.
-
Are jalapenos going to make the recipe taste too hot? Not of you remove the membranes and seeds before chopping them.
-
What can I substitute for the jalapenos? Green bell peppers work well in this recipe.
-
What is a sweet onion? Vidalia and the Walla Walla onions are the most common type of sweet onions. These onions lack the sharp, astringent taste of other common onions.
-
What corn muffin mix is the best to use in this recipe? I prefer to use the Jiffy corn muffin mix.
-
Can I use Creole seasoning in place of Cajun seasoning? The taste will be a little different, but if you prefer it, I see no reason why not.
-
Can this recipe be made ahead of time? Just let cool, cover tightly with foil, and place in the refrigerator until the next day. Reheat on low in the oven before serving.
