Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) whole kernel corn, drained
- 1 can (15 oz) cream-style corn
- 1 box (8.5 oz) Jiffy corn muffin mix
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×9-inch or similar baking dish to prevent sticking and allow easy removal.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the drained whole kernel corn, cream-style corn, Jiffy corn muffin mix, sour cream, and melted butter. Stir everything together until well mixed and uniform in texture. If you like, fold in the shredded cheddar cheese at this stage for added flavor and creaminess.
- Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the mixed ingredients into the prepared baking dish, spreading the mixture evenly to ensure consistent cooking and browning.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown and the center is set and firm to the touch.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. This resting period helps the casserole set fully and makes it easier to cut and serve.
Notes
- For extra flavor, stir in diced jalapeños, chopped green onions, or cooked bacon before baking.
- This casserole is a great side dish for BBQ, roasted meats, or holiday dinners.
- You can substitute the cheddar cheese with other cheeses like Monterey Jack or pepper jack for variety.
