- 1 box Jiffy corn muffin mix, 8.5 oz
- 1 can whole kernel corn, 15 oz, drained
- 1 can cream-style corn, 14.75 oz
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup butter, 1 stick, melted
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, optional
Steps
Step 1: Heat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13 (or 3-quart) baking dish.
Step 2: In a big bowl, stir together the drained corn, cream-style corn, sour cream, melted butter and eggs.
Step 3: Add the Jiffy mix and stir just until no dry streaks remain.
Step 4: Pour into the dish and spread it level.
Step 5: Bake 40 to 45 minutes, until the edges are golden and the center is set with only a slight jiggle.
Step 6: If using cheese, sprinkle it over the top and bake 5 more minutes. Let it rest 10 minutes before serving so it firms up.
Swaps
- Heat: Stir in a diced jalapeño or a small can of diced green chiles.
- Dairy: Plain Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.
- Smaller batch: Halve it and bake in an 8x8 dish for about 35 minutes.
Tips
- It’s done when a knife in the center comes out mostly clean.
- Make it a day ahead and reheat covered at 325°F for 20 minutes.
The story
HAM Cooking. Let’s fire it up.
If you show up to a holiday dinner without this, somebody’s aunt is going to ask where it is. You will not have a good answer.
Corn casserole sits somewhere between cornbread and corn pudding. The cream-style corn and sour cream add so much moisture that it never gets dry and crumbly like regular cornbread; the eggs set it into something you can scoop. Using two kinds of corn matters too: the creamy one gives body, the whole kernels give you that sweet pop.
It’s five ingredients and a bowl. You’ll get compliments like you made it from scratch. Just nod and say thank you.
HAM out.
