Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 can corn kernels, drained
- 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 box corn muffin mix (Jiffy).
- 1 can creamed corn
- 1 cup sour cream (full-fat)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. While the oven is heating, gather all the ingredients and ensure the whole kernel corn is properly drained to avoid excess moisture.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, lightly whip the 2 eggs with a fork. Add the melted unsalted butter and the sour cream, then add both the drained whole kernel corn and the creamed corn. Whisk the mixture until it is well combined and smooth.
- Add the Corn Muffin Mix: Pour the entire box of Jiffy corn muffin mix into the bowl with the wet ingredients. Stir thoroughly to combine, making sure there are no lumps and the batter is homogeneous.
- Prepare the Baking Dish: Butter an 8×8 inch casserole dish generously to prevent sticking. Pour the corn mixture into the dish and spread it evenly with a spatula for uniform baking.
- Bake: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 45 minutes. The top should turn golden brown, edges slightly cracked, and the center should feel firm but not jiggly when done.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm as a delicious, comforting side dish!
Notes
- Drain the canned corn carefully to prevent a watery casserole.
- Using full-fat sour cream enriches the texture and flavor, but low-fat sour cream can be substituted for a lighter option.
- You can substitute the Jiffy corn muffin mix with any similar corn muffin mix available.
- For a slight kick, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or diced jalapeños to the mixture before baking.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best results.
