Corn Casserole

The holidays are around the corner. Halloween has come and gone, then it’s Thanksgiving later this month, Christmas, and then a new year will be here.

One of my favorite parts of the holidays is to be with family, continue traditions for my own family, and well, let’s face it, the food.

Holiday food is THE best.

Several years ago, my mom, Julie, made this corn casserole recipe. Since then, we have made it for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, and many, many times for dinner.

My husband has a deep, deep love for corn casserole, so I decided to make it to go with his first meal back home after his 8-month deployment. He requested a chicken fried steak with gravy, a loaded baked potato, okra, and corn casserole.
