  • Lightly coat a 9×9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Add the drained whole kernel corn, cream-style corn, Greek yogurt, eggs, melted butter, and honey to a large mixing bowl. Whisk until combined.
  • Add the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir just until blended.
  • Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese.
  • Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
  • Let the casserole rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Tips and Tricks

Check the center - The edges may firm up before the middle finishes baking. Gently shake the baking dish near the end of the cooking time. The center should be set without noticeable liquid movement.
Choose the right cornmeal - Finely ground cornmeal gives the casserole a more tender texture. Coarse cornmeal can make it slightly gritty.
Double the recipe - For a larger Thanksgiving gathering, double the ingredients and use a 9×13-inch baking dish. The thicker casserole may need additional baking time, so check the center before removing it from the oven.
Plan your oven space - This casserole bakes at 350°F, so you can prepare it alongside other Thanksgiving dishes that require the same temperature. Allow enough room around the baking dish for even heating.

Storing and Reheating

Refrigerator - Allow the casserole to cool, then cover the baking dish or transfer leftovers to an airtight container. Refrigerate within 2 hours and store for up to 4 days.
Oven - Place the leftover casserole in an oven-safe dish and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Reheat at 325°F for approximately 15 to 20 minutes, or until heated through to 165°F. Larger portions may take longer.
Microwave - Place individual portions on a microwave-safe plate. Cover loosely and microwave in short intervals until heated through to 165°F.
Freezer - Allow the baked casserole to cool completely. Wrap individual portions tightly and freeze in airtight containers for up to 2 months for best quality. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating. The texture may be slightly softer after freezing.
