Description

Honey-Glazed Corn Casserole: A Sweet Twist on Tradition is a deliciously rich and sweet corn dish that combines the natural sweetness of corn with a honey glaze, topped with cheddar cheese and crunchy corn chips for added texture. Perfect as a side dish for holiday gatherings, family dinners, or any special occasion, this casserole offers a comforting fusion of flavors that elevate traditional corn recipes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups of fresh or frozen corn kernels
  • 1/2 cup honey – for that perfect sweet glaze
  • 1/2 cup melted butter or margarine
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional for added richness)
  • 1 cup crushed corn chips for crunch
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika or cayenne (optional for a smoky or spicy kick)
  • Breadcrumbs or crushed crackers for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a medium-sized casserole dish with butter to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, blend the corn kernels, honey, melted butter, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika (if using). Stir thoroughly until all components are well incorporated, ensuring the sweet glaze evenly coats the corn.
  3. Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and crushed corn chips for added flavor and crunch.
  4. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Top with breadcrumbs or crushed crackers if desired.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until bubbling and golden brown on top.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, reduce honey or skip the cheese.
  • Can be prepared ahead and refrigerated overnight before baking.
  • Allows customization with diced peppers, green onions, or cooked bacon for extra flavor.
