I love the holidays and all the feasts that come with them but as much as I love turkey and ham I am totally here for the side dishes, they are the best part. 

I have always loved corn casserole, it is such an easy, rich dish that everyone loves.  This year I decided to take it up a notch and make this loaded version filled with delicious add-ins like bacon, cheese and scallions. 

This is a hit with kids and adults with it’s rich and slightly sweet flavor and perfect for entertaining.  I serve this every holiday and am always so sad there are never any leftovers! This always goes so fast.

One of my favorite things about this recipe is that I can make it ahead of time.  This is fabulous warmed up when you need it but I like to make it the day before and just bake it before serving.
