Pin This RecipeThis is THE BEST corn casserole I’ve ever made. It is SOOO good. Seriously! Chicken Legs and I both absolutely loved this. I couldn’t believe how great it was because it only has 4 ingredients! Four! How awesome is that?!
We served this with some yummy grilled chicken and green beans. The Corn and Rice Casserole was the star of the meal. I could have actually eaten it as my meal! It was that good. This has become a family favorite. If you are short on time, this could be made ahead of time and refrigerated or even frozen. It is already back on our menu this weekend. YUM!
As I said, this Corn & Rice Casserole is a favorite at our house. It goes great with just about everything – chicken, pork, beef. Here are a few of our favorite recipes from the blog that go great with this yummy side dish:

Notes:
- I suggest using Unsalted Cream of Chicken Soup in this dish to control the sodium.

Mexicorn is 11 ounces per can. Regular corn is 15.25.
They are both 11oz
Can this be made ahead and frozen?
yes
With so few ingredients I was skeptical….but this was really delicious. I couldn't find the same brand of rice you used but found knorr brand yellow rice with their other packaged rices. Thank you!
Is that Mexicorn in your picture?
yes
One of my favorites! I just made this for a Memorial Day cookout. So easy & delicious!

Was thinking about doubling the recipe for Thanksgiving. Has anyone tried doubling?
oh this sounds amazing!!! I can't wait to try it!
I can't tell what size pan you used here? It looks like bigger than 8 x 8, but not as big as 9 x 13! Thanks so much!
It is 9×9 pan
What is yellow rice exactly?
It is in the rice isle and says "yellow rice" on the package. I used a package of Mahatma Saffron Yellow Seasonings & Rice.
Just made and it is awesome! The only thing I was unsure of was the can size of the mexicorn (5oz or 11oz). Thank you for a great recipe!
VDC – I didn't realize there were different sizes of Mexicorn. I am sure I used the 11oz can. I will update the recipe. So glad you enjoyed it!!
