Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cups sweet corn kernels, drained (or fresh/frozen, thawed)
- 15 ounces cream-style corn
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 8.5 ounces jiffy-style cornbread mix
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons optional chopped chives or parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the 4 tablespoons of butter in the microwave, or melt it gently on the stovetop.
Add the sweet corn kernels, cream-style corn, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, cornbread mix, eggs, sugar, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the melted butter.
Mix all ingredients together until thoroughly combined and you have a thick batter-like mixture.
Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out with a spatula to ensure it's smooth on top.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the casserole is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
Let the casserole cool slightly for about 5 minutes to set. Garnish with chopped chives or parsley, if desired.
Cut into squares or scoop out portions to serve warm. Enjoy!
