Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 package corn bread mix
- 1 can creamed corn
- 1 can whole kernel corn, drained
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 ounce sour cream
- ¼ pound butter, melted
Instructions
- Melt ¼ pound butter completely and gather your ingredients on the kitchen counter.
- Pour the melted butter into a large mixing bowl with 1 can creamed corn, 1 ounce sour cream, 1 can whole kernel corn (drained), and 1 package cornbread mix.
- Stir the ingredients gently but thoroughly, ensuring no dry cornbread mix remains at the bottom of the bowl.
- Transfer the combined mixture into a 2-quart casserole dish, smoothing the top with your spatula for even distribution.
- Place the casserole dish in an oven preheated to 350°F and bake for exactly 1 hour until the top turns golden brown and the center appears set.
- Remove the cornbread casserole from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving to help it firm up and cool slightly.
Notes
- Add a pinch of sugar to enhance the natural sweetness of the corn and balance the savory flavors.
- Swap out regular sour cream for Greek yogurt to reduce fat content without losing creaminess.
- For a spicy twist, mix in diced jalapeños or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes before baking.
- Ensure your cornbread mix is fresh to guarantee the best texture and rise in the final dish.
