Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup whole kernel corn (canned or fresh, drained if canned)
- 1 cup creamed corn (canned)
- 0.75 cup sour cream
- 2 large eggs
- 1 box Jiffy cornbread mix
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or similar-sized casserole dish with nonstick spray or butter.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole kernel corn, creamed corn, sour cream, and melted butter. Stir until evenly mixed.
Add the eggs to the mixture and whisk well to incorporate.
Gradually stir in the Jiffy cornbread mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, granulated sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix until distributed evenly throughout the batter.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly using a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean (a few moist crumbs are fine).
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows it to set properly.
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy the creamy, cheesy, Southern flavors!
