It's the perfect comfort food that combines the sweetness of corn with the richness of cheddar cheese, topped with a crispy breadcrumb crust.

Then, we'll combine the wet ingredients in a separate bowl, consisting of eggs or flax eggs, milk or almond milk, melted butter or vegan butter, sour cream or vegan sour cream, and chopped green onions.

Next, we'll stir in the sweet corn kernels, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the mixture. Once the batter is ready, we'll pour it into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. The final touch is a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese on top, followed by a layer of crispy breadcrumb topping.

Bake the casserole in a preheated oven until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This tantalizing dish will be ready to serve in no time. Whether you're a fan of the classic or vegan version, this Cheddar Corn Casserole is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. Enjoy it as a side dish or even as a main course for a vegetarian meal.

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn: Fresh corn on the cob is the best choice for this casserole, but frozen corn can also be used. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely before adding it to the casserole.
  • Use a good quality cheddar cheese: The type of cheddar cheese you use will greatly affect the flavor of the casserole. Use a sharp cheddar cheese for a bolder flavor, or a mild cheddar cheese for a more subtle flavor.
  • Don't overcook the casserole: The casserole is done when the center is set and the top is golden brown. Overcooking will make the casserole dry and crumbly.
  • Serve the casserole hot: The casserole is best served hot out of the oven. It can be reheated in the microwave or oven, but it will not be as good as when it is first made.

Conclusion:

Cheddar corn casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up fresh corn on the cob, and it is always a hit with family and friends. With a few simple tips, you can make the best cheddar corn casserole every time.
