Corn Casserole Ingredients
- 1 box Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
- 1 can (15 oz) whole kernel corn, drained
- 1 can (15 oz) cream-style corn
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly, either with butter or non-stick cooking spray, to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Jiffy corn muffin mix, drained whole kernel corn, cream-style corn, sour cream, and melted unsalted butter. Stir the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly blended and form a smooth batter.
- Add Cheese (Optional): If you desire a richer, cheesy flavor, fold in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese into the batter, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Bake the Casserole: Pour the prepared mixture into the greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes. The casserole is done when the top is golden brown and the center is set without any jiggle.
- Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes. This resting period allows the casserole to firm up slightly, making it easier to cut and serve. Enjoy as a comforting and hearty side dish.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt.
- To make it spicier, add diced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the mixture.
- Cheddar cheese is optional but highly recommended for extra flavor and creaminess.
- The casserole can be prepared a day ahead and refrigerated before baking.
- Leftovers refrigerate well for 3-4 days and can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
