Ingredients
1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 (15 ounce) can cream-style corn
1 (8 ounce) package Jiffy corn muffin mix
1 cup sour cream (full-fat recommended)
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained whole kernel corn and the can of cream-style corn. Stir them together until well incorporated.
Step 3: Add the sour cream to the corn mixture. Stir gently until it’s evenly distributed.
Step 4: Sprinkle in the Jiffy corn muffin mix. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Step 5: Pour in the melted butter. Fold it into the mixture until fully incorporated.
Step 6: Stir in 1 3/4 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese, reserving 1/4 cup for topping if desired.
Step 7: Pour the entire mixture into your prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Step 8: Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling. If using, sprinkle the reserved 1/4 cup of cheese over the top during the last 10-15 minutes of baking.
Step 9: Once baked, remove the corn casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows it to set up slightly for easier serving.
Notes
For best results, use full-fat sour cream and sharp cheddar cheese. This casserole can be made ahead of time: assemble, cover, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Let it come to room temperature for 30 minutes before baking, then bake as directed, adding a few extra minutes if needed.
