Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 (15 oz) can whole kernel corn
- 1 (15 oz) can creamed corn
- 1 (8.5 oz) box Jiffy corn muffin mix
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 cup (8 oz) sour cream
Supporting Ingredients:
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Flavor Enhancers:
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ cup diced jalapenos
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly with butter or nonstick spray.
- Drain the 15-oz can of whole kernel corn completely. Pour it into a large mixing bowl.
- Add the 15-oz can of creamed corn to the bowl. Pour in 1 cup of sour cream and ½ cup melted butter.
- Crack 2 large eggs directly into the mixture. Sprinkle ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
- Pour the entire 8.5-oz box of Jiffy corn muffin mix into the bowl. Stir everything until ingredients are fully combined.
- Optional: Mix in ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, or ½ cup diced jalapeños for extra flavor.
- Transfer the entire mixture into your prepared baking dish. Spread evenly with a spatula.
- Slide the dish into the 350°F oven. Bake for 45-50 minutes until the top turns golden brown and the center sets firmly.
- Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes. This helps it firm up and makes serving easier.
Notes
- Always use room temperature ingredients to help everything blend smoothly and create a consistent texture throughout the casserole.
- Customize the dish by adding shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, or diced jalapeños for extra flavor and personal flair.
- Check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center – it should come out clean with just a few moist crumbs.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, reheating gently to maintain the creamy consistency.
