Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 box Jiffy corn muffin mix
- 1 can (15 oz) creamed corn
- 1 can (15 oz) drained sweet corn
Supporting Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 1 container (8 oz) sour cream
Seasonings and Enhancers:
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and coat a 9×13 inch glass baking pan with cooking spray, ensuring complete coverage for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ½ cup melted butter, 8 oz room temperature sour cream, and 2 large room temperature eggs, whisking until smooth and well-blended.
- Add 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 15 oz creamed corn, 15 oz drained sweet corn, 8.5 oz Jiffy corn muffin mix, and ½ teaspoon salt to the butter mixture, stirring gently until ingredients are just incorporated.
- Pour the corn mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly to create a consistent layer that will bake uniformly.
- Slide the pan into the preheated 350°F oven and bake for 25-35 minutes, watching for a golden top and a center that’s set but still slightly jiggly.
- Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes, allowing the dish to settle and become easier to serve.
Notes
- Corn casserole works best when ingredients are at room temperature, helping them blend more smoothly.
- For a lighter version, swap full-fat sour cream with Greek yogurt and use a reduced-fat muffin mix.
- Customize the dish by adding diced jalapeños or green chiles for a spicy kick that complements the creamy corn base.
- Always check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center – it should come out mostly clean with just a few moist crumbs.
