Amish Scalloped Corn

By Kevin Williams

This is a really easy Amish scalloped corn recipe that comes to us from the Berne, Indiana community. One of the hallmarks of this recipe is the cans of cream-style corn. Man, I loved creamed corn when I was a kid. I'm getting nostalgic just thinking about it, I might have to buy a can just for old-time's sake. Canned cream-style corn is often found at Amish bulk food and bent and dent stores, of which they are many in the Berne community, so this is probably why this recipe gained popularity over the years. It is is also very simple, which tends to fall in line with that settlement's style. This recipe is similiar to the popular baked corn, but with some differences.

Reader Anita tried this old recipe for us and offered the following comments, I love her suggestion of adding some chili powder or paprika to add some kick to this recipe!

My first impression of this recipe was how easy and fast it came together . Soon after mixing it up, my home was scented with corny sweetness that reminded me of caramel popcorn!

The crisp golden brown crust on top is sweet and unexpected! The surprises continue as you take your first bite, expecting something savory, but instead you are treated to a fluffy, buttery sweetness. The quiche-like texture is offset by crisp kernels of corn*. Again, unexpected, but not wholly unpleasant.

I can see this as a great dish to accompany a holiday meal or a simple Sunday supper. Double the recipe and take it to share at a pot-luck meal. It’s simple and affordable, and easy for any cook, new or experienced.

RECIPE NOTES:

*Melt the butter before stirring it into the other ingredients.

*Be adventurous! Before baking, stir in some sharp Cheddar cheese. Or perhaps add a pinch of chili powder or smoked paprika to kick things up a bit!

*Make it a casserole. Stir in some diced ham or chopped, cooked bacon.

*The amount of whole kernels of corn will vary depending on the brand. Some are just creamier than others.
