Cornflake Scalloped Corn
A lot of scalloped corn recipes involve crackers - but this recipe is pairing unsweetened corn flakes for an extra crispy crunch - and even more corn flavor!
This scalloped corn is really more of a creamy and crunchy baked corn casserole, and the flavor the cornflakes brings is is unreal.
Tips to Crunchy Cornflake Corn Casserole
I love having a lot of crunch in my scalloped corn - so it's important to not mix the cornflakes in with the corn, and use it as a topping instead, to keep your cornflakes crispy and crunchy, not soggy.
I also like to sprinkle some extra cheese over the top of the corn in the last 15 minutes of baking - the cornflakes will be nice and crunchy, and a little melted cheese takes the flavor over the top!
Slow Cooker Scalloped Corn
If you'd like to make this scalloped corn in the slow cooker, please use the following modifications:
Mix ingredients and place in a well greased crockpot.
Top with cornflakes.
Cover and cook on high for 2 1/2 hours, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Be sure to check the temperature of the casserole with a food thermometer and ensure it is at least 165 F in the center before serving.
How to Make Scalloped Corn Ahead of Time
You can prep this dish entirely ahead of time to save prep during a party or cookout, without sacrificing any flavor!
If you're going to eat your scalloped corn within 1 day, you can assemble all ingredients together and mix (except cornflakes) and either keep in a plastic bag or in the prepped baking sheet, covered with plastic wrap, until ready to bake.
When you're ready to bake, preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Top corn with cornflakes and bake.
How To Freeze Prepped Scalloped Corn
If you'd like to make a big batch of this baked corn casserole and freeze it for later, use the same method above (making sure to leave off corn flakes), and then freeze.
To bake, let thaw in refrigerator overnight.
Place in prepped baking dish and top with cornflakes, and bake following recipe below.
How to Store and Reheat Scalloped Corn
If you have leftovers, no worries!
Immediately store leftovers in an airtight container or plastic bag and refrigerate, for up to four days.
This casserole reheats well - simply pop it in the oven in a baking dish and bake at 325, covered, until piping hot.
If cornflakes get soggy, top with up to 1/4 cup extra cornflakes for more crunch.
Scalloped Corn Recipe Ideas
If you'd like to kick the flavor up a bit, or reduce sugar, I am listing some great ideas to modify this baked corn dish to your preference!
- Crushed crackers, French fried onions, or bread crumbs may be used instead of corn flakes.
- Chopped onions and peppers can also be added to the mix to replace 1 cup of corn.
- Canned cream corn may be used for up to half of the corn.
- Sugar may be omitted, if desired.
- Add ½ cup of crumbled bacon for additional flavor.
