Tender, moist and full of sweet corn, Cornbread Casserole is the perfect side dish for Thanksgiving!
There has to be a better name for this side dish. Cornbread Casserole just doesn’t really seem right. My brother said I should have described it as a very moist corn bread, because trying to explain it didn’t sound appetizing.
He was pleasantly surprised and pronounced it “delicious” at our Thanksgiving dinner, but I did have to convince him to try it first. So if you come up with something better to call it, let me know.
Cornbread Casserole is basically just a really “fancied up” pan of cornbread. It’s made with canned corn, creamed corn, butter, and sour cream which adds so much moisture to the bread. I’ve never really liked plain corn bread. It’s so dry and crumbly! (I know some of you are gasping as you read that, but hey, I didn’t grow up in the South.)
If you’ve ever eaten at Chevy’s Mexican restaurant, this is very similar to the scoop of tomalito they serve with every entree. It’s sweet and savory and goes well as a side dish with just about any meal. We really like it for Thanksgiving, but I also make it to go with my Easy 3 Bean Chili.
