Corn & Zucchini Casserole – An easy cornbread casserole filled with corn and fresh zucchini makes a perfect side dish!
I’m so excited to bring you this recipe today. I shared it a few months ago on Mandy’s Recipe Box, and I couldn’t wait to do the same here. Corn Casserole has to be one of my favorite side dishes. It is so easy and so good, and it all starts with a box cornbread mix! Well, with zucchini season in full swing, I thought it would be a great addition to a family favorite. It’s moist, buttery perfection and a perfect summer side!
I often hear from readers who make their own cornbread mix. That would work fine here too! Just use your own recipe and add in the chopped onion, cream-style corn, and the shredded zucchini. Don’t forget the butter either!
Hope you enjoy this summer side as much as we did! See y’all next week, and be sure to check out other perfect side dishes below!

August 6, 2015 at 8:39 amI love corn casserole and make it often around the holidays but I’ve never added zucchini to it. What a great idea and the perfect way to use up all of my zucchini.

August 6, 2015 at 3:46 pmThis looks insanely good, I’ve pinned it! Do you think I could make it with fresh corn?
Jaren says
August 6, 2015 at 5:04 pmThanks Sara! I’ve never tried it with fresh corn, and opt to use the cream-style corn for the extra moisture. I would maybe try adding a little more milk to it if I used fresh corn.

July 7, 2016 at 6:34 pmMy mother in law made this for us and it was delicious!
Do you think we could make this and freeze before cooking?
Thanks!
Jaren says
July 7, 2016 at 9:14 pmHi Julie! Thanks so much for letting me know! I have never made it and froze it before cooking, so I’m not exactly sure it would turn out. I do imagine that it would do fine baking and then freezing though. I need to give it a try. Glad you guys enjoyed it!
