  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
  • 1 cup creamed corn
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup (4 tbsp) butter, melted
  • 1 cup Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
  • 1/2 to 1 cup shredded cheese (sharp cheddar or Monterey Jack, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a standard casserole dish with butter to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, creamed corn, sour cream, and melted butter. Stir until smooth to form the creamy base.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients and Corn: Gently fold in the Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix and corn kernels. Stir just enough to blend, being careful not to overmix to maintain a light texture.
  4. Optional Cheese Addition: If using cheese, fold it into the batter now to add a savory twist.
  5. Bake Until Golden: Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Let the casserole cool for 10 minutes before serving to help it set and enable clean slicing.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen corn for a crisper texture compared to canned corn.
  • Fold ingredients gently to avoid a dense casserole.
  • Grease the casserole dish thoroughly to ensure an easy release and golden crust.
  • Allow the casserole to rest before slicing for better texture and flavor melding.
  • Optionally, top with crushed crackers or breadcrumbs before baking for a crispy crust.
