Main Ingredients:
- 1 (15.25 ounces/432 grams) can whole kernel corn, drained
- 1 (14.75 ounces/418 grams) can creamed corn
- 1 (8.5 ounces/241 grams) box corn muffin mix (Jiffy)
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened and cubed
Dairy Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) sour cream
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 350F (175C) and lightly coating a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, amalgamate whole kernel corn, creamed corn, corn muffin mix, sour cream, and melted butter, stirring thoroughly until ingredients are completely integrated.
- Delicately incorporate cubed cream cheese throughout the mixture, ensuring even distribution for consistent texture and flavor.
- Transfer the entire corn mixture into the prepared baking vessel, spreading it uniformly to create an even surface.
- Position the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, monitoring until the surface transforms into a rich golden-brown hue and the center achieves a firm, set consistency.
- Remove from oven and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes, which helps the casserole stabilize and makes serving easier.
- Serve while warm, offering a creamy, comforting side dish that pairs wonderfully with various main courses.
Notes
- Customize the corn casserole by adding diced jalapeños for a spicy kick that elevates the dish’s flavor profile.
- Opt for reduced-fat cream cheese and sour cream to create a lighter version without compromising taste.
- Make this dish gluten-free by substituting the corn muffin mix with a gluten-free alternative or ground cornmeal.
- Enhance the casserole’s richness by sprinkling shredded cheddar cheese on top during the last 10 minutes of baking for a golden, crispy finish.
