A family favorite for pretty much all holiday occasions, this Southern Corn Souffle is made casserole-style. Perfect for serving family-style with all types of main dishes. From turkey to pork, beef, and even white fish or salmon, this baked corn dish has a balance of sweet and savory.

This Southern Corn Souffle has another name as well. Venetian Corn! One of my mother’s dearest friends, Melinda Williams, shared this recipe with us a long, long time ago. You can read more about that in my cookbook, Cooking With Susan, Southern Family Favorites. If you already have the cookbook, then you have the “base” recipe. The recipe here is a slight variation. Less sugar, more flour, and fresh basil makes a nice addition.

Recipe Suggestions:

  • Add in 1/3 cup of plain goat cheese
  • Freshly diced red and orange bell peppers would be nice. 1/4 cup will suffice.
  • Chopped fresh asparagus tips; 1/4 cup is perfect
  • When not serving for the holidays, add to the menu with GRILLED SALMON or BBQ
