Notes
For gluten-free, substitute flour with a cup-for-cup gluten-free blend or cornmeal. You can assemble the casserole a day ahead and bake before serving. Add shredded cheddar or bacon bits for extra flavor. Use room temperature ingredients for best texture. If using frozen corn, thaw and drain well. Let casserole rest before serving for best consistency.
