Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (15 ounces) canned whole kernel corn, drained
- 1 can (15 ounces) canned cream-style corn
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces cornbread mix (Jiffy or similar)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons optional garnish: chopped parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or casserole dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained whole kernel corn, cream-style corn, sour cream, melted butter, and cornbread mix. Stir until fully combined.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, reserving a small handful to sprinkle on top later, if desired.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Optional: Sprinkle the reserved shredded cheddar cheese on top for extra cheesy flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the casserole is golden brown and set in the center. A toothpick inserted into the middle should come out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before garnishing with chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
