Scalloped simply means it's a dish that's baked with milk or sauce, similar to a scalloped potato. This side dish is interchangeable with so many names, but Country Scalloped Corn has a few slight differences. Corn Pudding or also commonly known as corn soufflé doesn’t traditionally have cornmeal as part of the mixture. Corn casserole could be any of these 3. Nonetheless, all of the above are super delicious!

For an elevated twist, you can add shredded cheese, chopped cooked ham or bacon, chopped canned jalapeños, or chopped green chiles to the mix. It'll make the perfect accompaniment to your next dinner with family and friends!
