Will I sound like a broken record if I say you have to include Dad’s Gulliver’s Corn Recipe on your Thanksgiving menu? I feel like I already said that about my Mom’s Classic Stuffing Recipe. That’s how attached I am to my classic Thanksgiving recipes. Oh yes, and all of our pie recipes we make too. And again, if you need some table setting inspiration head to my Ladies Fall Brunch.
This recipe came to be when my Dad needed to bring a dish to a potluck. He ended up finding this recipe and we’ve been eating it ever since.
And I will say we’ve hosted plenty of Thanksgivings and Friendsgiving and this has been the most requested Thanksgiving recipe. It’s creamy, delicious and amazing. Everyone will like it – trust me.
Let’s get to it! Round up your super, easy, basic ingredients for my Dad’s Gulliver’s corn.

You’ll need to heat the dutch oven and melt the butter. Then you’ll add the flour and cook for a couple of minutes. Make sure to stir it frequently so your mixture doesn’t burn or turn brown.

Next up you’ll add the milk, whipping cream, salt, sugar and pepper. You’ll notice that it will be thin. So then you’ll need to simmer that until it gets thick, about 5-10 minutes. See how it coats the spoon now?

Next up, stir in the corn.

Then you’ll pour the mixture into a casserole dish and top it with Parmesan cheese. This will give the casserole and an awesome, cheesy topping.

Broil the cheese until it’s nice a golden brown, about 10 minutes. Keep a close eye on it because broiling items can go from brown to burnt in an instant!

Now you could put this into an 8×8 pan, but we like to put it in a 9×13 casserole dish so everyone can get the melted, yummy cheese topping.

I hope everyone loves! And if you do make it, make sure to tag me on IG or let me know below!

Yum! I am getting hungry just reading this! I think this is a recipe that my family will love!
I hope they do! It’s a crowd pleaser.
This is what my family would call a stupid-simple recipe – SO easy, but SO yummy (I am betting) that you’d think it should be a lot more complicated! Can’t wait to try!
Haha yes! That’s a perfect description!
That looks so yummy! I love corn and love incorporating it into recipes.
Agreed! Corn is so good!
Looks delicious! Can I use canned corn? We bought a big box due to Covid 🤦🏻♀️
I absolutely think you can. Just drain it well and you’ll be good to go!
