Step 2: Combine and Bake
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the 1 cup yellow corn meal, 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda.
- Stir the dry corn meal mixture into the wet corn mixture until just combined and smooth.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 50 minutes, or until the casserole is set in the center and a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean and golden.
💡 Make-Ahead & Storage: Assemble the casserole up to a few hours in advance, cover, and refrigerate until ready to bake, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time if necessary.
