Gluten-free cornbread casserole is the perfect sweet yet slightly salty side dish. It is cozy, comforting and so easy to make!
Gluten-Free Cornbread Casserole
I love making this cornbread casserole because it is a bit more hearty than regular cornbread and slightly sweeter. It has a good combination of fresh corn and creamed corn alone with cornbread mix and plenty of delicious butter.
We typically serve it on Thanksgiving, with our gluten-free green bean casserole (with homemade fried onions), gluten-free turkey and gluten-free gravy. However, it is fantastic any time of year.
It is great served up with our BEST roast chicken, gluten-free crescent rolls and creamy gluten-free funeral potatoes or just with your favorite gluten-free chili recipe like this one from my friend Chrystal of Gluten-Free Palate.
What is the best gluten-free cornbread mix?
I really like using Bob’s Red Mill bagged cornbread or Pamela’s GF cornbread mix for making this gluten-free cornbread casserole. Both bring great flavor to the table.
I also love that they aren’t too expensive and both can easily be found at most grocery stores.
Is canned creamed corn gluten-free?
Del Monte creamed corn is gluten-free. For any other brand, be sure to check ingredients. Some use traditional flour as a thickener.

Gluten-free cornbread variations
If you’d like to make this a spicy Mexican version, add in a can of green chilis and a dash of chili powder. You can also add in some diced red pepper and top with jalapeños for even more of a kick!
How do you store leftovers?
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. To serve, simply heat up in the microwave util hot.
