What is your corn dish for Thanksgiving?

[Janeway]

I was thinking of maybe shaking this up this year. Love to hear what everyone does.

We're supposed to have a corn dish?

[shawthorne44]

creamed corn is our essential side dish.  

[gingersmom]

The first thing that popped into my head was popcorn. Don't think that is what you had in mind :)

Jalapeño corn casserole. Mild jalapeño flavor, not too spicy for the kids, creamy and delicious.

We don't usually have a corn dish. One year, I might go full on Charlie Brown and have toast, popcorn and jelly beans for thanksgiving dinner though. :-)

Do you have the recipe handy? This sounds good.

[LucyStoner]

We don't do corn at thanksgiving since it's out of season here and the traditional creamed corn or corn casserole type things people do with canned or frozen corn have things in them I don't or can't eat. Like the cream 😂

 

Our veggies for Thangsgiving usually include a mash, glazed carrots and parsnips and Brussels sprouts. A friend always does sweet potatoes too and sometimes we have cooked the stuffing in squash.

Can I  come? :D

[Baseball mom]

Corn dish is usually just whole kernel corn.  If you get to "exotic"  dh and some other family members will freak out

Recipe, please. I just had some jalapeño corn bread that was to die for.

[Daria]

With stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, and my mother's delicious cranberry nut bread, I have never felt the need for another carby food at Thanksgiving.  So, we tend to skip the corn.

[magnificent_baby]

Usually someone makes the Jiffy corn bread casserole. If not that, then macaroni corn casserole is also a tradition. 

[Hammfried]

Corn is not in season by the time Thanksgiving comes around but we have used frozen. We really love corn chowder salad. It's bacon, potatoes, bell peppers, red onion, and CORN! CORN! CORN! All dressed in Apple cider vinegar and salt and pepper. You can omit the bacon for vegetarians/vegans.

We do a corn casserole.

[LucyStoner]

I could have pretty much written this, and am now craving Thanksgiving veggies, but we've never cooked the stuffing in squash. Can you tell me more? We love squash, and always have some variety of it at Thanksgiving.

I think the basic idea was one I snagged on Gluten Free Goddess. It was a cornbread stuffing recipe but there's no reason one couldn't do it with regular bread stuffing.

Yep, here's the recipe:

I make a corn casserole using corn bread mix. We only have it twice year, Thanksgiving and Christmas. I don't know why. We all love it. Well, except ds who only eats can corn or corn-on-the-cob.

[Cinder]

No corn dish here. We usually do a non-traditional dinner, like steak or salmon.

Jalapeno corn casserole

 

Ingredients:

4lbs corn (frozen, fresh, or canned)

3 jalapenos

8 oz cream cheese

1/4 c butter

1/2 c milk

salt and pepper to taste

 

optional crumb topping: (it's yummy but I usually don't do it because it doesn't do well as leftovers - gets mushy)

1 c bread crumbs

1/2 c melted butter

 

Directions:

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine cream cheese, butter, milk, salt, and pepper. Stir continually until melted and smooth. Set aside.

Wearing gloves, de-seed and cut in half 3 jalapenos. Place in boiling water for one minute. Remove, finely chop, and add to sauce.

Mix corn into sauce, and place mixture into a 9x13 casserole dish. Add crumb topping if desired.

Bake 30-45 min (depending on whether your corn was frozen or not) at 350F.

 

Crumb topping directions:

Mix melted butter with bread crumbs and sprinkle over the top of the casserole before baking.

Thank you!!

[redsquirrel]

I never thought of it as a "corn dish" but I bake anadama bread for the meal.  That has cornmeal as an integral ingredient.

[bolt.]

I just serve kernel corn, with butter and salt, in a bowl.

[KungFuPanda]

I don't think we need one. My sister thinks I'm crazy.

[KatieJ]

My recipe for corn casserole is called Escalloped Corn and I was making it when I was old enough to cook.

.  It is made with crushed crackers, not Jiffy corn bread.  I think it is lighter, fluffier, better.

[Tap]

My stuffing is made with half cornbread and half home baked croutons. That is the only corn I serve.

[gaillardia]

I have ill will towards corn. Not sure why. Might have to do with what I can afford is not organic. Scary corn. Children of the Corn. Nope. No thanks.

I used to love corn. 

If stomach acid can disintegrate metal, why can't it do the same to corn?

I don't eat unicorn horn. Yucky, ew. No.

No gastrointestinal issue with it I just don't eat corn. Oh, I do eat corn when I'm eating corn chips and salsa. Now there's an idea for Thanksgiving.

 

[Zinnia]

We don't have corn, either, because the dressing seems to have enough (it's cornbread based).  But that jalapeno corn casserole looks yummy!  I might have to try it soon

[Farrar]

When I do one, it's usually the corn casserole with the three corns - the box of jiffy, the fresh cut corn, and the horrible but makes it so good can of creamed corn.

 

Oh, I have done spoon bread too.

 

But I don't see corn as a must at Thanksgiving.

[Sherry in OH]

We have baked cheese grits 

 

2 tablespoons unsalted butter plus extra for greasing baking dish

Costco sells an organic frozen kernel corn that's amazing.  I think I'm going the jalapeño corn casserole route this year. :)

[ktgrok]

Hmm....think I could use canned jalepenos for a casserole? Or rather, I would make my corn pie as usual, but it makes two pies. Could I fill the one pie crust, then add some jalepenos to what is left, for the other one?

[zoobie]

The canned creamed corn is only corn and corn starch and water I thought?. What's so shockingly horrible about it? It's not anything like homemade creamed corn, but as an added ingredient, it doesn't seem scary to me. And frozen corn is just corn. Often it's better than grocery store ear corn because it's frozen very quickly after picking.

 

We usually only have corn in cornbread dressing on Thanksgiving. I've made the Jiffy corn casserole before. I usually make the "Jiffy" from scratch because I never keep it on hand and don't prefer sweet cornbread.

It's just so gloppy. We eat so few canned goods. I do think fresh cut corn is amazingly better than frozen, though I use frozen in a lot of stuff. And out of season like this, it's probably better.

Cornbread dressing.
