Corn pudding and corn casserole are two classic Southern dishes often served as side dishes during holidays and special occasions. Both dishes share similar ingredients like corn kernels, eggs, sugar, salt, pepper, and milk. However, there are a few key differences between the two that make them unique culinary experiences. Corn pudding is typically made with a custard-like batter, resulting in a smooth, creamy texture. It's often poured into a baking dish and cooked in a water bath, which helps it set evenly. Corn casserole, on the other hand, has a more solid, casserole-like consistency due to the addition of cornbread crumbs or flour. It's typically baked in a casserole dish and may include additional ingredients like cheese, vegetables, or meat. Both corn pudding and corn casserole offer distinct flavor profiles and textures, making them both delightful options for any occasion. This article provides two detailed recipes, one for corn pudding and one for corn casserole, allowing you to choose the perfect dish to satisfy your taste buds.

- Add some flavorings. Onion, garlic, bell pepper, and chili powder are all good additions. You can also add herbs such as thyme, rosemary, or basil.
