Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 (15 oz) can whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 (15 oz) can cream-style corn
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 (8.5 oz) box Jiffy corn muffin mix
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar (optional, for a sweeter version)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly to ensure the casserole does not stick and bakes evenly.
  2. Mix the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, sour cream, melted butter, and sugar if you prefer a sweeter casserole. Stir in the whole kernel corn, cream-style corn, Jiffy corn muffin mix, salt, and optional shredded cheddar cheese. Combine everything thoroughly until you have a smooth batter with evenly distributed ingredients.
  3. Bake the Casserole: Pour the prepared batter into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
  4. Serve & Enjoy: Allow the casserole to cool for about 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm as an ideal side dish paired with turkey, ham, BBQ, or any comfort meal of your choice.

Notes

  • This casserole can be made a day in advance; just cover and refrigerate until you’re ready to bake.
  • Add shredded cheddar cheese for a melty, cheesy twist.
  • Adjust milk or sour cream quantity to customize the casserole’s creaminess or firmness.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat at 350°F until warmed through.
  • Freeze cooked casserole for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
  • For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or diced jalapeños to the mix.
  • Non-dairy milk alternatives like almond or oat milk may be used as substitutes if preferred.
  • You can sauté onions or garlic and add them to the mixture for extra flavor, but avoid overpowering the corn’s natural sweetness.
  • Double the recipe to serve a larger crowd, using a larger baking dish and adjusting the baking time accordingly.
