Gluten-Free Cornbread Casserole

I love making this cornbread casserole because it is a bit more hearty than regular cornbread and slightly sweeter. It has a good combination of fresh corn and creamed corn alone with cornbread mix and plenty of delicious butter. 

We typically serve it on Thanksgiving, with our gluten-free green bean casserole (with homemade fried onions), gluten-free turkey and gluten-free gravy. However, it is fantastic any time of year.

It is great served up with our BEST roast chicken, gluten-free crescent rolls and creamy gluten-free funeral potatoes or just with your favorite gluten-free chili recipe like this one from my friend Chrystal of Gluten-Free Palate.

What is the best gluten-free cornbread mix?

I really like using Bob’s Red Mill bagged cornbread or Pamela’s GF cornbread mix for making this gluten-free cornbread casserole. Both bring great flavor to the table. 

I also love that they aren’t too expensive and both can easily be found at most grocery stores. 

Is canned creamed corn gluten-free?

Del Monte creamed corn is gluten-free. For any other brand, be sure to check ingredients. Some use traditional flour as a thickener.

If you’d like to make this a spicy Mexican version, add in a can of green chilis and a dash of chili powder. You can also add in some diced red pepper and top with jalapeños for even more of a kick!
