Main Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 oz) corn kernels, drained (or 1½ cups fresh/frozen corn)
  • 1 cup Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix (use gluten-free mix if needed)
  • 1 cup sour cream (use dairy-free substitute if desired)
  • ½ cup (1 stick) melted butter (or plant-based margarine for dairy-free)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese, sharp cheddar or mild (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a medium baking dish with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking and promote a golden crust.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, melted butter, and milk until smooth and fully combined to create the moist base of the casserole.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: Add the corn muffin mix to the wet ingredients, then gently fold in the corn kernels and cheese if using, taking care not to overmix to maintain a light texture.
  4. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish to ensure consistent cooking throughout.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Bake for 45 to 50 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.

Notes

  • Use fresh corn for the best flavor and texture, but frozen or canned corn work well too.
  • Don’t overmix to keep the casserole light and fluffy rather than dense.
  • Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes after baking to set properly before serving.
  • For a cheesy crust, sprinkle additional cheese on top halfway through baking.
  • Start checking doneness at 40 minutes as oven temperatures can vary.
