FAQs

Can I prepare this casserole ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the casserole a few hours ahead and refrigerate it covered. Bake it just before serving, adding extra baking time if chilled.

Can I use fresh corn instead of canned?

Absolutely. Use about 1 ½ cups of fresh corn kernels for the canned corn. You may want to add a little extra creamed corn or sour cream to maintain moisture.
