Old-Fashioned Scalloped Corn

(11.26.23) Tastes pretty good, but it was a wet mess, and that’s after cooking for 55 minutes. I used a brand name can of corn, Del Monte Cream-Style Corn, but maybe it was an extra liquid-y can?? The only change I made was using Club Crackers instead of saltines (none on hand), but that shouldn’t affect consistency. This was so soupy that I had to serve in small bowls. Not sure what happened, just know I’ll be moving on.

Made it! Excellent. I used two cans creamed corn then 2 cobs of fresh kernels cut off the cob. Made it more stiff. Topping I used panko and the butter. Excellent!! Will make again. Thank you for posting this recipe!

I made this casserole for my grandson's scout swimming picnic. So I increased the canned corn to 5 cans, drained. I did use 1 box Jiffy cornbread mix, 2 eggs & 2 yolks, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/8 cup grated onion, 1 roll crushed Ritz crackers, 1/2 cup melted butter, 2 tbsp corn starch, 8 oz shredded sharp cheddar, a tbsp sugar, salt/pepper & 1 cup 1/2 & 1/2. I melted 3/4 stick butter. Crushed another roll of Ritz crackers & spreadded it on top, then drizzled 3/4 stick butter overcrumbs. It looks & smells good. But until the picnic later, I won't have a true consensus or rating. Thanks.

I was drawn to this recipe because it uses saltine crackers (like my family's usual recipe) and its high rating told me it might just be an improvement on what I have made before. I mixed the ingredients as written first, and it seemed rather thin - based on other reviews I then added an extra 1/2 cup or so of crushed saltines to the mixture. I also misread the directions and added the paprika and pepper to the corn mixture (and then also used them in the topping). I checked it after 40 minutes and it was still jiggly, so I left it in until it seemed firm enough to me - turned out to be 65 minutes. Overall it turned out very good, and I got several compliments on it when bringing it to Thanksgiving dinner. The paprika in the topping was a great touch.

I added some fried onions to the top of this. I LOVE scalloped corn and this recipe is so simple and easy to make. I can't wait to dig in!
