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.
