Do you freeze this before or after cooking?
I always freeze it unbaked. No need to bake it and bake it again later.
Delicious!!!
Thanks for sharing!
Would all purpose flour or cornstarch work instead of self rising flour?
Those are not equivalent substitutes for self-rising flour.
Google to make your own self rising flour 🙂
Can this recipe be halved?
Sure! Just cut everything in half and bake in a 9×9-inch baking dish
What’s the green herb in the pictures of the finished casserole?

I would like to prepare this corn casserole tonight but I don’t have heavy cream. Can I use sour cream instead?
Shoepeg corn is a common corn , evidently you don’t do use much corn. It’s no difference between fresh,frozen or canned corn.
Love shoepeg corn! I’ll have to try this soon😊
It’s sweeter, white corn. Sometimes you can find it Frozen, but it is usually hard to find. Just use whatever you can find that is fresh or frozen that says “sweet” on it!
Sounds great!, but is the corn frozen are canned corn?
I used thawed frozen corn, but either should work fine.
Well I’m almost 62 yrs old and I’ve never heard of white shoepeg corn?? Recipe doesn’t say if corn is fresh and uncooked or is it canned??? Can any corn be used ?
never heard of shoepeg corn??
It is a common type of corn.
