Corn casserole is one of my favorite Thanksgiving dishes! And one I thought I could never recreate low carb. Wrong! This Low Carb, Keto Jalapeño Corn Casserole uses canned baby corn and sweet summer squash to replace whole kernel corn and creamed corn in the traditional recipe and comes out to just over 2 net carbs per serving!
Cornbread mix is replaced with coconut flour, and granulated erythritol gives you that decadent sweetness, while the jalapeños provide a nice kick. Omit the seeds if you don’t like spicy foods.
Monterrey jack cheese, cream cheese and butter ensure the casserole is still moist and tasty even with those sugar-laden ingredients removed.
This recipe makes a HUGE batch. Enough for your whole Thanksgiving, Christmas or other holiday crowd. Twenty-four servings to be exact. I used a 4.5L Corningware dish that measures approximately 11 x 14 x 2.5 inches. If you don’t have a large, very shallow dish like mine, please make sure to split yours into two different dishes or halve the recipe to keep your batter thin. Otherwise, the top and bottom may burn before the casserole sets.
Check your nutrition labels! Make sure you’re getting the cut baby corn that has 3 grams of carbs per can and not 47.
