How to Make Easy Gluten-Free Corn Casserole (Dairy-Free) (Overview)
Making this corn casserole is as easy as pie (except it’s not pie, it’s casserole). First up, you’ll whisk together your dry ingredients in one bowl — no need to overthink. Next, fold in the wet ingredients to create a creamy mixture that dances with flavor. Pour it in a baking pan, pop it in the oven, and let it do its magic.
Pro Tip: Baking it uncovered gives a gorgeous golden crust, but if things get a little too toasty for your liking, foil to the rescue!
