Want to take a little dive into the history of these eats? Corn pudding is believed to have its origins in Native American cooking. The corn’s natural starch thickened the pudding as it baked. Now there are many variations on this dish. This Checkerboard Corn Bake is a fresh take on this popular casserole, though it stays true to the beloved combination of sweet and savory. There’s a story you can share at the dinner table!
