CORN CASSEROLE



Corn Casserole image

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.

Provided by Ali Slagle

Time 50m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 pounds frozen or fresh corn kernels (about 6 1/2 cups)
4 scallions, thinly sliced crosswise (optional)
1 fresh rosemary sprig (optional)
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup fine or coarse yellow cornmeal
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup sour cream
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups freshly grated Cheddar or Parmesan

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Add 4 tablespoons butter to a 9-by-13-inch pan or other 3-quart casserole dish and transfer to the oven. Once the butter has melted, about 5 minutes, take the pan out of the oven and let cool.
  • In a medium pot, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high. Add the corn, scallions and rosemary, if using, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of black pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the corn starts to give off some liquid and softens, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and discard the rosemary sprig.
  • Stir the flour, cornmeal, baking powder and 1 teaspoon salt into the corn mixture. Tilt the baking pan so that the bottom gets coated in the melted butter, then pour the excess butter (do not scrape the dish) into the pot with the corn mixture. Stir to combine.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream and eggs with a fork until combined. Add to the corn mixture along with 1/2 cup grated cheese and stir just until combined, taking care not to overmix.
  • Pour the batter into the pan, spread evenly, then sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup of cheese. Bake until the cheese is melted and the casserole is set, 30 to 35 minutes. For a golden top, broil for a few minutes. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Select the Right Mushrooms: Choose fresh, firm mushrooms with a meaty texture. Button, cremini, and shiitake mushrooms are all great options.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, and parsley add a burst of flavor to the casserole. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, use dried herbs, but reduce the amount by half.
  • Don't Overcook the Mushrooms: Mushrooms cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. They should be tender but still have a slight bite to them.
  • Use a Good Quality Cornmeal: The type of cornmeal you use can make a big difference in the texture of the casserole. Look for a stone-ground cornmeal that has a coarse texture.
  • Let the Casserole Rest Before Serving: This allows the flavors to meld and the casserole to set. Cover the casserole with foil and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Cornmeal mushroom casserole is a simple but satisfying dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover mushrooms. With its creamy, cheesy sauce, tender mushrooms, and crispy cornmeal topping, this casserole is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
