Italian Style Corn Casserole

With the addition of crispy pancetta, Parmesan cheese, & sun-dried tomatoes, this Italian Style Corn Casserole is not your grandmother's corn casserole...

A creamy & comforting homemade corn casserole often makes an appearance alongside a pot of hearty chili or as a classic side dish for the Thanksgiving dinner table in our home. 

Usually, we stick to a tried & true corn pudding type casserole for the fall time, but this year I decided to kick up this family favorite side dish just a notch with some classic Italian flavors like crispy pancetta, shaved Parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and a little fresh basil.







This Italian Style Corn Casserole is sort of a cross between a corn pudding and a cornbread. Definitely creamy, but it holds it shape when you dish it out and doesn't spread all over the plate like some corn casseroles do.

I mean, who wants to be stuck sweating in the kitchen, fretting that everything will not get done in time due to a shortage of oven space?  Not >>this girl<<.  ;)

I want to be the hostess sipping on a cranberry mimosa while the turkey rests and most of the sides are deliciously nestled in a couple of slow cookers, keeping warm...
