Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can corn, drained
- 1 can creamed corn
- 1 box cornbread mix
Dairy and Binding Ingredients:
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- ½ cup melted butter
Instructions
- Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish thoroughly with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Set your oven to precisely 350°F and allow it to fully preheat while preparing the mixture.
- Empty the entire can of drained corn and full can of creamed corn into a large mixing bowl.
- Add the complete box of cornbread mix, measuring out 1 full cup of sour cream, and 1 cup of shredded cheese to the bowl.
- Pour ½ cup of melted butter over the ingredients, ensuring smooth and even distribution.
- Stir all components together until the mixture appears completely uniform with no dry pockets of cornbread mix remaining.
- Transfer the entire mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the surface.
- Slide the dish into the preheated 350°F oven and bake for exactly 45 minutes.
- Check the casserole’s doneness by confirming a golden brown top and firm center.
- Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to rest for 5-7 minutes before serving to help it set properly.
Notes
- Swap out regular cornbread mix for gluten-free versions to accommodate wheat sensitivities.
- Fresh corn kernels can replace canned for a brighter, more vibrant flavor profile.
- Use reduced-fat cheese and sour cream to lighten the dish without sacrificing creaminess.
- Garnish with chopped chives or green onions right before serving to add a fresh, zesty touch to the casserole.
