Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (8.5 oz) 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 ½ cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (divided)
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or grease with butter.
- Drain the whole kernel corn in a colander and set aside.
- Melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop and let it cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the Jiffy corn muffin mix, drained whole kernel corn, cream-style corn, sour cream, melted butter, beaten eggs, salt, and pepper. Stir until just combined (a few lumps are fine).
- Fold in 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
- Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of cheddar cheese over the top.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Don’t overmix the batter to avoid a dense texture. Let eggs come to room temperature for smoother mixing. Use freshly shredded cheese for best melting. Let the casserole rest after baking to set properly. For a spicy version, add diced green chiles and pepper jack cheese. For a bacon and chive version, add crumbled bacon and fresh chives.
