My friends, the holidays are here. Life is getting chaotic and there aren’t enough hours in a day. So what if I told you that you can make one of your holiday side dish recipes in your microwave? I know! I was super excited too. Check out this Microwave Corn Pudding.
A few months ago I tested this recipe that I found in grandma’s old cookbook. We served it along side our fried chicken. The family fell head over heals in love, which was great because it is so incredibly easy to make.
I mean, a casserole that you can make in the microwave is awesome when you have your oven full and all the burners going. Check out this super delicious side.

This pudding, or casserole is so easy to make. Just mix all the ingredients together in the casserole dish and microwave in increments of 3 minutes each, for a total of 9 minutes. No need for a separate mixing bowl – it is all done in your casserole dish.
Then for the final round you will uncover it, add the final seasonings and microwave for another 15 minutes. It is that simple. Can you believe it? It really is just that quick. I love to have my girls whip it up while I tend to the other recipes.
Here are some commonly asked questions
Do I have to use creamed corn for this?
Yes. You will need the liquid content and consistency of the cream-style corn to make this recipe cook correctly. Don’t worry if you don’t normally like that type of corn. It ends up tasting like casserole and not at all like the texture of creamed corn.
Can this recipe be doubled?
Well, probably, but I have not personally tried it. If you decide to give that a go, be sure to use a 9×13 casserole dish and you will probably need to increase your cooking time since the pudding will be thicker than it is in the square dish.

Can you make this a day before to take elsewhere?
Since the whole recipe takes only 30 minutes, I have not tried prepping it for transport the day before. I can say that the reheated leftovers were pretty good – so I would think that reheating for the next day would be fine. Not quite as good as fresh, but that is true for most leftovers.
Can this be halved? What size casserole dish would you use and how would the time6 change?
I’m sure that it can, the portions are easily divideable. However – I have never tried it – so I can’t say how long to cook it for. Since the recipe calls for cooking in 3 minute increments, I would say to stick with that and just pay close attention to the consistency of it as you stir each time. Then check it periodically as it does its final cook time.
