Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can (15 oz) whole kernel corn
- 1 can (15 oz) creamed corn
- 1 box (8.5 oz) Jiffy corn muffin mix
Supporting Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Seasonings and Fats:
- ½ cup butter, melted
- Salt
- Black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and generously coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
- Crack 2 large eggs into a spacious mixing bowl and whisk them until completely smooth.
- Pour ½ cup melted butter and 1 cup sour cream into the eggs and blend until the mixture looks uniform and creamy.
- Add 1 can of drained whole kernel corn and 1 can of creamed corn to the wet ingredients, stirring gently to combine.
- Empty the entire 8.5-oz box of Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix into the bowl, stirring just until the dry ingredients are moistened.
- If desired, sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese across the surface and fold into the mixture.
- Transfer the entire mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Slide the dish into the 350°F oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, watching for a golden-brown top and set center.
- Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving to help it stabilize.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients for smoother mixing and better texture.
- When folding cheese into the casserole, choose sharp cheddar for more intense flavor.
- Check doneness by inserting a knife in the center – it should come out clean without wet batter.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute the corn muffin mix with gluten-free cornbread mix and verify all ingredients are certified gluten-free.
