INGREDIENTS You’ll Need:

Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this comforting Honey-Glazed Corn Casserole:

• 2 (14.75 ounce) cans of creamed corn: This provides the creamy base for our casserole.
• 1 (14.75 ounce) can of sweet corn, drained: Adds a delightful texture and sweetness.
• 1 cup sour cream: For a tangy and rich flavor. No worries if you only have plain Greek yogurt – I use it all the time for an extra protein boost in my Honey-Glazed Corn Casserole, and it works beautifully!
• 1/2 cup melted butter: Because everything is better with butter!
• 1/3 cup honey: The star of our glaze, adding natural sweetness.
• 2 large eggs, beaten: Helps bind everything together.
• 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal: Provides a bit of texture and that classic corn flavor.
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour: Helps create a smooth and cohesive casserole.
• 1 teaspoon baking powder: Gives our casserole a little lift.
• 1/2 teaspoon salt: To balance the sweetness.
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper: Adds a hint of savory depth.

Trust me, this ingredient list is simple because busy moms need comfort without complexity! You can find these simple ingredients at your regular grocery store.

For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of regular melted butter. My family gets extra comfort when I add a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese on top before baking!

This Honey-Glazed Corn Casserole proves delicious doesn’t mean expensive. It’s all about using simple ingredients in a comforting way.

As a comfort hack, I sometimes mix the dry ingredients ahead of time and store them in an airtight container. Then, when I’m ready to bake the Honey-Glazed Corn Casserole, I just whisk them into the wet ingredients. Saves so much time!

This Honey-Glazed Corn Casserole reminds me of another family favorite, sweet corn spoonbread casserole. So delicious!

Let’s Make it Happen!

Ready to bring this comforting Honey-Glazed Corn Casserole to life? Let’s get cooking together!

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. This is a perfect time to prep tomorrow’s lunch!
2. In a large bowl, combine the creamed corn, drained sweet corn, sour cream, melted butter, and honey. Mix well until everything is nicely combined. The aroma of honey and corn is already making my kitchen smell amazing!
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Make sure there are no lumps. This step ensures that the dry ingredients are evenly distributed in the Honey-Glazed Corn Casserole.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Overmixing can result in a tough casserole, and we want it to be light and tender.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Spread it evenly. Don’t worry if your Honey-Glazed Corn Casserole looks a little lumpy at this stage; it will all even out in the oven.
6. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Your Honey-Glazed Corn Casserole should smell amazing by now! It should also be golden brown on top.
7. Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. This allows it to set up a bit and makes it easier to slice and serve.
