Description
This Sweet and Cheesy Corn Casserole is a delightfully comforting side dish that brings together the sweetness of corn with a creamy, cheesy finish. It’s the perfect accompaniment to almost any meal, offering a warm and satisfying bite every time.
Ingredients
1 can (15 oz) sweet whole kernel corn, drained
1 can (14.75 oz) cream-style corn
1 box (8.5 oz) corn muffin mix
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1.5 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 large eggs, beaten
Instructions
Prepare your oven to 350F (175C) and coat a 9×13-inch baking dish.
In a bowl, combine the beaten eggs, melted butter, and sour cream, whisking until smooth.
Gently mix in the drained whole kernel corn, cream-style corn, and corn muffin mix until just combined.
Stir in 1 cup of the shredded sharp cheddar cheese into the batter.
Transfer the corn mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Bake for 40 minutes, then top with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese and bake for another 5-10 minutes until golden and set.
Notes
To ensure your corn casserole is perfectly baked, insert a knife or a toothpick into the center. It should come out mostly clean, and the edges should be slightly golden and set.
Overmixing can develop the gluten in the muffin mix, leading to a tougher casserole. Mix until just combined for the best texture.
Make sure your baking dish is well-greased. This prevents the casserole from sticking and makes for easier serving.
If your cheese isn’t browning as much as you’d like in the final minutes, you can briefly turn on your oven’s broiler, watching it *very* closely to prevent burning.
