If you decide to use a frozen bag of corn instead, just make sure it is completely thawed out before adding it to your casserole.To store this recipe, put it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or if you want to freeze your casserole, place it in a large freezer bag. When time to eat, take it out of the freezer and let it thaw. Then, mix it up and place in the casserole dish and bake away.To make your corn casserole ahead of time, follow all steps up until baking. Store the casserole in your fridge tightly sealed with foil and then just pop it in the oven the day of.
