Nutrition

This corn casserole is a delicious and comforting dish, but it’s also important to take into account its nutritional content. Below is the nutritional breakdown per serving.

What To Serve With It

I love pairing my corn casserole with fresh salad options, like a crisp garden salad or tangy coleslaw, to balance its rich creaminess. If I’m craving something heartier, I’ll serve it alongside meat dishes, such as roasted chicken or smoky pulled pork. The contrast in flavors and textures makes every bite more exciting.

Fresh Salad Options

When I’m serving up a cozy corn casserole, I love pairing it with something fresh and crunchy to balance out all that creamy, comforting goodness. A simple salad with seasonal vegetables—like crisp cucumbers, juicy tomatoes, or shredded carrots—adds brightness, while fresh herbs like basil or parsley give it a pop of flavor. It’s light, easy, and the perfect contrast to every rich bite.

Hearty Meat Dishes

Nothing balances a creamy corn casserole quite like a hearty meat dish—think juicy roasted chicken, smoky pulled pork, or savory meatloaf. I love pairing it with grilled steak, seasoned simply with salt and pepper for a rich, smoky flavor. Roasted chicken, with its crispy skin and tender meat, also complements the casserole’s sweetness perfectly. These dishes add depth, making every bite feel like a cozy, satisfying meal.
