Trinidad Corn Pie – An Irresistible Corn Casserole loaded with tons of flavor and a little heat . A must make for the holidays.

Trinidad Corn Pie

There are no words that I can use to satisfactory express how tasty this Caribbean Corn Pie is. Seriously! Am going blank on this one. Ok, here is my attempt at it. Spoon after spoon after spoon of Pillowy, Creamy, Corny, Spicy  Goodness. That’s just my lame description of this Super side dish. Yes! It is indeed a side dish but after digging in you would think otherwise.

I have been making corn casserole unfailingly now during this season. Why? Cause it’s versatile and because of the aforementioned descriptors AND It’s the very definition of comfort food, something we crave during the holiday season.

Trinidad Corn Pie

A dish enjoyed throughout the Island especially in Trinidad and Barbados . I can’t tell you enough how much people go crazy over this and skip out on the dishes that I have been slaving over, for days. So this Holiday Season  am not slaving away. So what sets this corn casserole apart from the others? It’s packed with onions, bell peppers and scotch bonnet pepper. Replace scotch bonnet peppers with Jalapenos peppers for a less spicy dish

Trinidad Corn Pie

Notes!!!

  1. If you like  this on the dry side then use only  a  cup  of milk , if you like what you are see then go with  the full can.
  2. You may add prepared sausage, bacon, or prosciutto on top, for those of you that want protein and salty garnish in the mix.
  3. For an even quicker corn casserole try this one here

  1. You may omit the cheese at the top.
