🛒 Ingredients

This recipe uses just four key ingredients for pure holiday comfort:

Whole kernel corn, drained 1 can (approx. 15 oz)
Creamed corn 1 can (approx. 15 oz)
Sour cream (full-fat recommended) 1 cup
Melted butter ½ cup

👩‍🍳 How to Make Amish Holiday Corn Bliss Casserole

    1. Step 1 — Preheat and Prepare

      Preheat your oven to **350°F (175°C)**.

      Lightly **grease a 9×9-inch baking dish** (or a similar size, like a 2-quart dish).

 

    1. Step 2 — Combine the Ingredients

      In a medium mixing bowl, add the drained whole kernel corn, the creamed corn, the sour cream, and the melted butter.

 

    1. Step 3 — Mix Well

      Stir vigorously until all four ingredients are **completely blended and creamy**. Ensure the sour cream is fully incorporated.

 

    1. Step 4 — Pour & Bake

      Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish.

      Bake for **45–50 minutes**, or until the top is golden brown and the center of the casserole is set (it should no longer jiggle when moved).

 

  1. Step 5 — Cool & Serve

    Allow the casserole to rest for **5–10 minutes** before serving. This cooling period helps the texture set, making it thicker and creamier for easier scooping.

💡 Tips for the Best Corn Casserole

  • **Use full-fat sour cream** — it gives the absolute best texture and richness.
  • **Real butter only** — margarine won’t create the same comforting flavor or richness.
  • **Bake longer if needed** — ovens vary; the center should be fully set and the top golden brown.
  • **Let it rest** — resting improves thickness and creaminess dramatically.
  • **Double the recipe** for large gatherings — it disappears fast!

🌶️ Optional Add-Ins (Customize Your Casserole!)

Make this classic dish your own with one of these tasty variations:

  • **Cheese:** Add ½ cup shredded cheddar for a cheesy version.
  • **Firmer Texture:** Mix in 1 beaten egg for a denser, more “spoon-bread” like texture.
  • **Spicy Twist:** Stir in ½ cup chopped jalapeños for a Southern kick.
  • **Freshness:** Add ¼ cup chopped green onions.
  • **Bacon:** Top with crispy bacon crumbled over the top before serving.
  • **Sweetness:** Add a pinch of sugar for an old-fashioned sweet flavor boost.
