Corn Bake

This Corn Bake is light, rich and perfect for a special side. It has sour cream, applesauce, and cream style corn. I like to take it to pot lucks.

This Corn Bake recipe is one that I LOVE at Thanksgiving and during the year because I enjoy it so much. It is great for a crowd but also for a week that I cook multiple meats and want an easy side. 

I found this recipe initially in my Taste of Home Healthy Cooking 2009 Annual Recipes Cookbook.

Cost Per Serving $1.35 as of June 2022

If you have zero ingredients then this recipe will cost about $16.17. 

If you have a fully stocked pantry this recipe will cost about $5.56.

  • This will reduce the cost per serving to $0.46.

I do not include salt and pepper in the cost of this recipe.
