Yum! This looks just like a cornbread casserole that I would make that is not gluten free! It looks so moist and delicious!
Thanks! It really was the perfect texture.
I’ve never liked cornbread with bits of whole corn, but your pictures make me want to whip this up and call it dinner. Looks tasty!
Thanks Renee..I never made it with corn like this before either but turned out really good.
What size casserole dish? This looks amazing!
Thanks Emily! I used a 2.75 quart casserole dish.
I’m thinking about Thanksgiving as well! We are doing a test dinner this weekend – smoking a turkey to make sure we have the method down pat before we have family over on Thanksgiving. I can’t wait to eat tons of food this weekend and on Thanksgiving!
Great recipe, Stef! Cornbread casserole is a fav of mine. 🙂
Thanks Julie! Good luck with the turkey and I can’t wait to eat all the good food as well 🙂
