Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 1 can (15.25 oz) whole kernel corn
- 1 can (14.75 oz) cream-style corn
- 1 package (8.5 oz) cornbread mix
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ cup butter
Finishing Ingredients:
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Grab a 9×13 inch baking dish and coat every inch with cooking spray so your casserole won’t stick.
- Dump the entire 15.25 oz can of whole kernel corn and 14.75 oz can of cream-style corn into a spacious mixing bowl.
- Pour the 8.5 oz package of cornbread mix directly into the corn mixture, then add 1 cup sour cream and ½ cup melted butter.
- Whisk all ingredients together until the batter looks smooth and no dry cornbread mix remains visible.
- Transfer the corn mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Slide the dish into a preheated 350°F oven and bake for exactly 45 minutes until the top turns a golden brown color.
- Pull the casserole out and sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese across the entire surface.
- Return the dish to the 350°F oven for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the cheese to completely melt and become slightly bubbly.
Notes
- Drain canned corn well to prevent excess moisture that could make the casserole soggy.
- Select a high-quality cornbread mix for the best texture and flavor in your dish.
- Check the casserole at 40 minutes to ensure it doesn’t overcook, as ovens can vary in temperature and performance.
- For a lighter version, swap full-fat sour cream with Greek yogurt and use reduced-fat cheese.
