I love any corn bake, but Paula Deen’s corn casserole recipe is my all-time favorite. It is the easiest ever to make. 5 minutes prep time and then into the oven.

How To Make Paula Deen’s Corn Casserole?

Make-ahead Method

If you wish to make this casserole ahead of time, you can make the batter, pour it into the baking dish, cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for up to 3 days.

Can You Freeze Uncooked Casserole?

Yes, you can. Make the batter and freeze it for up to 3 months. If you wish to prepare this for the holidays, I recommend making it two weeks in advance and freezing it. Before baking it, thaw it in the refrigerator for 2 days.
