6 cups frozen corn
1 ¼ cups half-and-half

Notes

TO MAKE AHEAD: After putting the corn mixture inside the casserole dish you can refrigerate it for up to 3 days. Your crumb topping can be refrigerated separately until needed.

When needed, place casserole and crumbs on the counter to allow them to come to room temperature.

Cover with tinfoil and bake for 20 minutes at 400 degrees.

Next, increase your temperature to 450 degrees, remove foil, and top with your crumb mixture. Bake until a beautiful golden brown, another 8 to 10 minutes.
