Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups elbow macaroni
- 1 15-ounce can canned whole kernel corn
- 1 15-ounce can canned cream-style corn
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika (optional, for garnish)
- cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Cook the elbow macaroni in a large pot of salted boiling water according to the package instructions until al dente, typically 7-8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained whole kernel corn, cream-style corn, melted butter, sour cream, and milk. Stir until well combined.
Add the cooked macaroni to the mixture, then fold in 1 ½ cups of shredded cheddar cheese. Season with salt and black pepper, mixing until evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
If using, sprinkle paprika over the cheese for a touch of color and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
