This recipe has been an integral part of my life, almost since childhood. We would not have any Thanksgiving without a corn casserole. This recipe is one of the finest and easiest to make. You can easily prepare this from all the ingredients readily available in every household. In order to save your precious time, you might consider preparing it the night before, as it becomes almost fresh when you preheat it the next day. Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix is used in the authentic recipe, but as we are preparing it in a modified version, which is a gluten-free version, we will use gluten-free cornmeal and all-purpose flour. Don’t worry! The healthier version is not any less devouring. It is so good that you might not be able to differentiate. If there is one recipe, that my entire family looks forward to every Thanksgiving, it is this recipe. I am quite sure you will love it too! You will surely become a fan.

HERE IS THE LIST OF INGREDIENTS:

  1. Gluten-Free Flour & Cornmeal: they are necessary for giving a nice consistency and structure to the dish.
  2. EGG: it is an essential component to bind all the ingredients that are used in this recipe. One can also choose an egg-free vegan casserole.
  3. UNSALTED BUTTER: in order to provide a creamy texture, this ingredient is a must. Also, it enhances the flavor immensely.
  4. 15 OUNCES CREAM STYLE CORN(PREFERABLY GLUTEN-FREE): My personal favorite brand is Del monte. It is one of the most trusted brands with gluten-free options.
  5. 15 OUNCES REGULAR WHOLE KERNEL CORN: One can choose any brand. But using fresh corn is preferred.
  6. SOUR CREAM: Considering dairy-free casserole, 7 to 8 ounces of yogurt( dairy-free) mixed with one teaspoonful of fresh lime juice can be used.
  7. SUGAR: A hint of sweetness does no bad. In case you are on a no-sugar diet, you can skip this step.
  8. BAKING POWDER: To prepare a fluffy casserole, baking powder should be used.
  9. SALT: According to taste.
