Corn pie is a savory baked dish from the American South, particularly Appalachia, consisting of a cornmeal crust or crumble filled with sautéed corn kernels and, often, milk, cream, or cheese. It grew out of Native American corn-based cooking as adapted by European settlers, and some versions add ground meat, sausage, or other vegetables to the filling. The cornmeal crust is firm and slightly crunchy, contrasting with the soft, sweet corn filling. It is usually served as a main or side dish alongside greens, baked beans, or cornbread.
