Creamy side dishes are highly coveted in many households around the holidays. They’re the epitome of comfort food on the coziest of holidays, don’t you agree? From creamy mashed potatoes to creamy green bean casserole and everything in between, creamy and/or cheesy are the name of the game when it comes to fabulous holiday side dishes. This Hatch Chile Corn Pudding recipe is a great holiday side dish because not only is it creamy and flavorful, it’s also good to take with you if you’re not hosting the event because it holds up and reheats well.
This dish is very simple. You’re going to puree 3 of the 4 cups of corn kernels and then combine all the ingredients together except the breadcrumbs and bake the dish to create a dish that’s similar to bread pudding, only with corn. I like the bit of spice this dish has thanks to the Hatch diced green chiles. You can choose mild or hot chilies depending on preference.
