Ingredients
Scale
Cornbread Mixture
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 8.5 ounce package cornbread mix (such as Jiffy)
Corn
- 15 ounce can whole corn kernels, drained
- 15 ounce can creamed corn (or homemade)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and coat a 9×9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to ensure the casserole doesn’t stick.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, melted unsalted butter, and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add dry and corn ingredients: Stir in the cornbread mix, drained whole corn kernels, and creamed corn. Mix gently but thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Transfer to the baking dish: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and use a spatula to smooth the surface evenly.
- Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing to allow it to set properly. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- You can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a tangier flavor and additional protein.
- For extra cheesy flavor, add ½ to 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese into the mixture before baking.
- Make sure to drain the whole corn kernels well to avoid excess moisture that could make the casserole too watery.
- This casserole can be made a day in advance and reheated in the oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes.
- If using homemade creamed corn, blend cooked corn kernels with a bit of cream or milk until smooth.
