If you’re from the south, then you know you gotta have corn casserole for Thanksgiving. Recently, one of my best friends was raving about a corn casserole recipe that she was making. She was taking it with her to meet her boyfriends parents for the first time and wanted to make a good first impression.
She told me, “This is the ugliest casserole but it’s so darn good, you can’t stop eating it!” It’s called Green Chili Corn Casserole, or some people call it Shoepeg Corn Casserole.
I have to say she’s right, it’s one of the best corn casseroles I have ever had!
It’s creamy and sweet, with that little hint of green chili in the back ground. I put it together in no time, and it doesn’t take up much room in the oven on turkey day.
How to make Green Chili Corn Casserole:
Melt the butter, cream cheese and milk in a heavy saucepan over medium heat and stir until smooth. Add the corn, green chili, parsley and salt. Stir to combine everything.
Place into an 8″ x 8″ baking dish, sprinkle the top with more parsley and bake at 300° for 30 minutes.
That’s all there is too it folks, it’s really that simple.
Enjoy!

I have been making this (type) of recipe for many years, but my family has grown so I put it in the crock pot. I let some butter melt in the crock, I get the cream cheese sofen slightly, usually microwave, because I forget to take it out early, dump everything in crock stir it up, set on low, usually have to turn to warm after it gets bubbly. I usually double this recipe recipe, but you can get away with not doubling the cream cheese. Cream corn mixed in is good too. There is no way to mess this up, only tweak it good.
I added a sprinkling of bacon pieces into the mixture, as well as garlic. So good!
That sounds like perfection!
I’m thinking of smoking my corn first and using fresh green chiles. Thoughts?
Hi Ben, I think that is a great idea. How do you smoke the corn? I’m very interested…
Do you think this corn casserole would be good topped with bread crumbs?
I’m not sure about the bread crumbs. I probably wouldn’t
Will frozen sweet corn work? Plus thinking of using Hatch green chile
