Ingredients

Scale

Corn Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh or canned corn (drained if canned)
  • 1 can (14 oz) creamed corn

Dairy & Eggs

  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup yellow corn muffin mix
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking and help the edges brown nicely.
  2. Mix the Corn Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine fresh or canned corn, creamed corn, sour cream, melted butter, and eggs. Stir well until fully combined and creamy.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Fold in the corn muffin mix, shredded cheddar cheese, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Mix gently just until everything is evenly incorporated—avoid overmixing to keep the texture light.
  4. Bake Until Golden: Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish and bake for about 45-50 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the top turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  5. Let It Rest Before Serving: Allow the casserole to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing to help it set and make serving easier.

Notes

  • Use quality fresh or high-quality canned corn for best taste and texture.
  • Gently fold ingredients to keep the casserole tender and fluffy; avoid overmixing.
  • Add cheese before baking so it melts perfectly into the mixture.
  • Use a toothpick to test doneness to ensure the center is creamy but fully cooked.
  • Let the casserole rest after baking to make slicing easier and avoid crumbling.
