Ingredients

  • 1 (15 oz) can whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 (15 oz) can creamed corn
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ½ cup melted butter
  • 1 box (8.5 oz) Jiffy corn muffin mix
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or a similar-sized casserole dish.

Step 2: Mix the Ingredients

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained whole kernel corn, creamed corn, sour cream, and melted butter. Stir until well mixed.
  2. Add the Jiffy corn muffin mix to the bowl and gently fold it into the mixture until fully combined.

Step 3: Add Cheese (Optional)

If using shredded cheddar cheese, stir in ½ cup now and reserve the remaining ½ cup for topping.

Step 4: Pour into Baking Dish

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. If using cheese for topping, sprinkle the remaining ½ cup over the top.

Step 5: Bake

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set.

Step 6: Cool and Serve

Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows it to firm up slightly for easier slicing.

Tips

  • Add-ins: For extra flavor, stir in cooked, crumbled bacon, diced jalapeños, or chopped green onions.
  • Make ahead: Assemble the casserole the night before, cover, and refrigerate. Bake it fresh the next day, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
  • Leftovers: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
