Notes

  • If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can make this cornbread casserole in a regular baking dish. Just heat the butter in the microwave and then pour it into the pan. Brush the butter up the sides of the pan and then follow the remaining instructions as directed in the recipe.
  • Drain the can of corn. Don't forget to drain the can of regular corn kernels! Too much liquid will make this casserole soggy.
  • Make sure you use the entire can of cream style corn. Even though you're draining the regular canned corn, you definitely want to use the entire can of cream corn. Because cream corn uses liquid from the corn cob, there is extra corn flavor and starch in the liquid that will help to give this cornbread casserole it's creamy texture. 
  • Cover the casserole with foil if the top is getting too dark before the casserole is cooked through. This will allow the casserole to continue cooking without browning the top any further.
  • The texture of this cornbread casserole should be creamy. It's wetter than cornbread but not mushy, if it's still a bit mushy after cooling, pop it back in the oven for another 10-20 minutes.
