Some side dishes quietly sit on the table. Others make people stop mid-bite, look up, and say, “Wait… what is this?” This Amish Holiday Corn Bliss Casserole belongs in the second category. It’s creamy, golden on top, lightly sweet, gently savory, and spoonably soft—basically the comfort-food version of a warm blanket.
This casserole has that classic “Amish-style” charm: simple pantry ingredients, no fancy steps, and a final result that tastes like you’ve been making it for years. It’s the kind of dish that disappears first at potlucks, earns you recipe requests at Thanksgiving, and somehow tastes even better the next day.
If you love corn pudding, spoonbread, or creamy corn casseroles, you’re going to be obsessed. The top gets lightly browned and custardy, while the inside stays tender and rich—full of sweet corn kernels tucked into a buttery, creamy base.

What Is Amish Corn Casserole?
Amish corn casseroles are usually built around:
-
corn (whole kernel + creamed corn)
-
eggs (for a soft custard set)
-
dairy (sour cream, milk, or cream)
-
butter (for richness)
-
a small amount of flour or cornmeal (structure)
-
sometimes cheese (optional, but delicious)
This version is the holiday-style “bliss” upgrade: still easy, still classic, but just rich enough to feel special.
