Corn Pudding is a favorite gluten free casserole recipe in my family for Thanksgiving and Christmas. No holiday is complete without this easy corn casserole on our table.

Corn Pudding - add this easy family favorite side dish recipe to your holiday menu for Thanksgiving and Christmas

Easy Corn Pudding Recipe

This post is not about pretty photos of a beautiful dish with bright pops of color, and contrasting textures, like this gorgeous Roasted Butternut Squash and Pomegranate and Goat Cheese Salad. Nor is it about fresh, local ingredients, clean eating, unprocessed foods, like these Balsamic Roasted Vegetables. It is about a corn casserole made with canned corn (yes, even the dreaded canned creamed corn) and white sugar and butter and seasoned salt (and sometimes even Egg Beaters, when I just want to quickly measure out the ten eggs needed for a double batch, versus cracking and beating them all). I’m sorry for this recipe.

Actually, I am totally not, because THIS.IS.GOOO-OOOOD!!!  And I eat it twice a year – Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve.  So to be perfectly honest, I am not going to pay attention to people getting all up in arms on me about preservatives and GMOs and BPA, and the spoonful of Cool Whip I eat once a year with my Crustless Pumpkin Pies. I get all that.

But, Corn Pudding, I can’t quit you.

Corn Pudding recipe - it's so easy to make this side dish for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any holiday or Sunday dinner.

I know I told you about my issues with jarred gravy and green bean casserole made with canned green beans and cream of mushroom soup.  And while I am a fan of dessert, when it comes to “real food”, well, I typically want REAL FOOD.  But this creamy, sweet, savory, buttery, salty, eggy, corn casserole just draws me in.  Oh goodness, I am going crazy thinking about it, because I don’t get it till next week!!  I will forego the mashed potatoes and turkey gravy and green bean casseroles on Thanksgiving, and the mashed potatoes and red gravy and fried shrimp on Christmas Eve just to make sure I get my fill of Corn Pudding before it disappears.  And you know what, I’ll probably just make a double batch so that we have some extra at my uncle’s on Christmas Day.

So this Corn Pudding recipe post is a little gift to my family.

You see, we have been working off of this little scrap of paper my mom clipped out of a magazine years ago.  It was part of an ad for one of the ingredients, and I can’t even attribute it to the exact source, because there are several brand names listed in the recipe, and I have not ben able to find it online, despite exhaustive searches.  Now we have it forever preserved electronically, and I can just print it out every time I misplace my one single photocopy.

And to round out your Thanksgiving or Christmas menu, here are some recipes from my friends. This Healthy Sweet Potato Casserole from A Mind Full Mom is a great way to balance out the holiday indulgence. Add amazing flavor with Brown Butter Mashed Potatoes from The Food Charlatan. And the centerpiece of the meal is this Savory Herb Rub Roasted Turkey from The Little Kitchen.

    • Vanessa, of course, the size of an appetite may vary, but the corn pudding should easily serve 6 people, and up to 8 for smaller servings. Enjoy!

      • My mom made this from fresh corn from the garden along with a side of fresh green beans and a pan of cornbread. Sliced fresh tomatoes onions and cucumbers rounded out the meal. This was our meal just about every everyday in the summertime when the garden came in. She made a sweet not savory version. And used self rising flour instead of cornstarch. Also she melted the butter in an iron skillet and poured the mixed ingredients into the butter and baked at 450 along side of a skillet of cornbread. Oh yeah when the new potatoes got so big some were boiled in the beans too. We lived just about totally from our garden in the summer. Then pinto beans with a side of fried potatoes onions and cornbread in winter. And the hogs and beef we butchered

  2. This is mccormicks recipe. I clipped this from a newspaper 35 or 40 years ago. It’s a holiday tradition for us. Been making it that long. Awesome yummy a little on the sweet side if that’s how you like it. We do in Kentucky! Happy Days Pal

  3. Happy Thanksgiving!!! This was a home-run at our table today! Good thing I doubled the recipe: I brought home no leftovers!!!

  4. I want to make this ahead of time. I have a 2 hour drive. If I keep it in a cooler with ice packs on the drive, do you think it will be ok to pop in the oven and bake once I get to my destination?

    • Lisa, I’m so sorry that I didn’t see your comment until now. I hope that you made and enjoyed the corn pudding!

  5. Making this for a Christmas dinner with the in-laws today. Looks yummy! Just wanted to confirm whether it’s 4 teaspoons or tablespoons of cornstarch? I’m guessing tablespoons but wanted to be absolutely sure 😉

  8. Just came across this!
    My family has been making this recipe for over 20 years!
    It is seriously my FAVORITE food EVER!!!
    Good to know others are enjoying it as well!
    But I have to say the pictures really don’t to it justice…
    It is that good!

  9. I was pleasantly surprised/amazed to find this recipe on pinterest, this is a BIG favorite in our house…..I actually still have the original magazine clipping…it was a McCormick recipe featuring the Season-All Salt as TIP#354 (surprisingly they do not feature it on their website)…….one TIP that I would give is that when I DOUBLE the recipe, which I usually do, is to increase the cooking time to 1 1/2 hours, stirring 3 times (since there is more, it needs more time to firm)….the entire family would feel cheated if this was not included on our holiday table

  10. Hi there! This sounds yummy, do you mind telling me what the consistency is on this? I noticed there was no flour or cornmeal, so was wondering if it’s runny? And approximately how many servings do you get from this recipe? Thanks!

  12. Corn pudding is my family’s tradition at Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. Your recipe is very close to mine; we don’t put sugar, cornstarch or mustard in mine, but pepper, a little flour, baking soda and crushed crackers on top (with the melted butter over it). A lot of people I meet have never heard of corn pudding.
