Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can corn (drained)
- 1 can cream-style corn
- 1 box Jiffy cornbread mix
Dairy Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) sour cream
- 1/2 stick (4 tablespoons or 56 grams) butter, melted
- Cheddar cheese (for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 350F (175C), ensuring a consistent temperature for even cooking.
- In a spacious mixing vessel, amalgamate all corn varieties, sour cream, cornbread mix, and liquefied butter, stirring thoroughly until ingredients form a homogeneous blend.
- Transfer the creamy mixture into a generously greased casserole dish, spreading evenly to create a uniform surface.
- Position the casserole in the preheated oven and allow to bake for approximately 45 minutes, monitoring until the surface transforms into a rich golden-brown hue.
- Once the initial baking completes, carefully extract the dish and lavishly scatter sharp cheddar cheese across the top.
- Return the casserole to the oven, permitting the cheese to melt completely and develop a tantalizing bubbling texture.
- After the cheese reaches a perfect molten state, remove from the oven and let rest momentarily to stabilize.
- Serve immediately while piping hot, offering a comforting and indulgent side dish that promises delightful texture and flavor.
Notes
- Customize the spiciness by adding diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce for those who love a kick.
- Make it gluten-free by substituting the Jiffy mix with a gluten-free cornbread mix or almond flour.
- Enhance the flavor by mixing in crispy bacon bits or chopped green onions before baking for extra texture and taste.
- Reduce calories by using low-fat sour cream and reducing the amount of butter in the recipe.
