This Honey Glazed Corn Casserole is a comforting side dish that perfectly balances sweet and savory flavors. Made with whole kernel corn and creamy corn, the texture is rich and tender with bursts of juicy corn in every bite. The addition of heavy whipping cream or sour cream adds a smooth, velvety base, while sharp cheddar cheese melts into the mixture, creating a cheesy, luscious interior.
What sets this casserole apart is the touch of honey, which adds a gentle sweetness that pairs beautifully with the corn's natural flavor. The melted butter helps form a golden, slightly crisp crust on top, giving the dish just the right amount of bite. Each spoonful delivers creamy, cheesy goodness with a subtle honey glaze that makes it irresistibly comforting and flavorful. Perfect for holidays or Sunday dinners, this casserole is a crowd-pleasing favorite that feels both familiar and indulgent.
