This Creamy Cheesy Corn Casserole is a five-star summer side dish. I like that every season has its own special foods. Fresh fruit and vegetables are the best sign of seasons. It’s possible to find every food in every season either frozen or canned but I’m talking about fresh ones here. Nothing better than fresh, right? So fresh corn is one of the best signs of summer and I love to use it in as many recipes as I can before summer ends.
Although our number one favorite is plain or cheesy corn on the cob, I enjoy trying new recipes too! After making Skinny Zucchini Casserole, I thought “ why not make a similar casserole with fresh corn?” This is how this Creamy Cheesy Corn Casserole came out.
After making my yummy casserole, I made a quick search on the web if there was any dish named corn casserole and to my surprise there were hundreds of it. I thought I would be the first one. Well, ok maybe among a few ones. I really didn’t know that corn casserole is that popular. It looks like it is one of the most popular side dish in the U.S. Not even known in Turkey, that’s why I was proudly thinking I developped a very yummy side dish.
It was impossible to resist this Cheesy Creamed Corn Casserole on Brown eyed Baker, drooling over it and I will definitely make it next time. But we loved my new cheesy corn casserole too. Well, at least new to us.
It’s creamy but I didn’t use heavy crean or sour cream in this recipe. Just milk is enough to have that texture. It’s really cheesy so if you like cheesy dips, I’m sure you will love it too! I used a mixture of ricotta and parmesan, but you can use parmesan only if you like a more stretchy casserole or just make your own cheese mixture.
I didn’t add any salt since the cheeses I used had enough of it. Just adjust it to your taste depending on the cheese type you use.

This is a great recipe. I used corn on the cob, cottage cheese as it needed to be used and evaporated milk which too needed to be used. How delicious this is !!! This will definitely be my new go-to corn recipe. It will be great to serve for Thanksgiving, Christmas or hmmmm, as a dessert with a dollop of whipped cream. I'll most certainly make this over and over.

So glad you loved it Joan! Love your additions, thanks for sharing it here. Have to try it your way next time. Never thought of serving it as a dessert. Brilliant idea!
Update: We LOVED it as a dessert, Zerrin. I served it at room temperature with a tablespoon of cool whip on top. I'm making another casserole right now to be served as a dessert. This recipe is great!!! Now, I need to stock up on whipped cream...ha ha.

Hi Joan! You don't know how happy I get when someone loves one of my recipes that much. Thank you so much for this nice feedback. I have to try it as a dessert asap!
Hi,
If I use frozen corn, how much should I use? Thanks!!
I liked this a lot. I substituted cottage cheese for ricotta and forgot to add the milk but still turned out fine. Looks like you topped it with green onions.
This looks so good. Was wondering if you can use frozen corn? Either way I will be trying this.
You can definitely use frozen corn.
Wow, I was expecting the recipe to have a ton of cheese, but I can't believe it's mostly milk. Looks so good. I just bought 8 cobs of corn, so I will be making this!
This looks wonderful. I wonder if it can be cooked in a crockpot?
Hi Tiffany! Crockpot is not sold here, so I'm not sure. I'd love to hear the result if you try it out.
Mmm this looks scrumptious, I love corn! Love the photo's, so tempting.
I've tried it for the first time and it has become one of our favorites!
Yes, Zerrin, this is very popular here! Sometimes it is called corn pudding. I love that you developed this without ever knowing that. It looks rich, creamy and very delicious. I like the mix of cheese you used too - my favorites.
It was like rediscovering America for me! So corn pudding is its another name. Good to learn this 🙂
This looks wonderful Zerrin! Pinned 🙂
Thank you Marla!
This looks so good! I love, love fresh corn in the summer. What a great way to use it!
Thank you Lisa! It's great to see you back here! This casserole has already climbed to the top of our favorite list!
