Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can corn, whole kernel
- 1 can cream-style corn
Dairy and Binding Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) sour cream
- 1 stick (113 grams) butter or margarine, melted
- 1 large egg
Dry Mix:
- 1 box Jiffy corn muffin mix
Instructions
- Prepare the baking environment by heating the oven to 350F (175C) and coating a 9×9-inch baking dish with a light layer of grease to prevent sticking.
- Create a smooth, uniform mixture by whisking together the corn muffin mix, sour cream, melted butter, and egg in a spacious mixing bowl until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
- Transfer the blended mixture into the prepared baking dish, using a spatula to distribute the batter evenly across the surface, ensuring a consistent thickness.
- Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, monitoring the top for a rich golden-brown color and checking the center’s doneness with a toothpick that should emerge clean when inserted.
- Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to rest for a few minutes, which helps the dish set and makes serving easier. Slice and serve warm as a delectable side dish that combines creamy texture with a subtle cornbread-like flavor.
Notes
- Customize the mix by adding diced jalapeños or green chilies for a spicy kick that transforms the classic corn casserole into a zesty side dish.
- Swap regular sour cream with Greek yogurt to reduce calories and boost protein content, making the recipe more diet-friendly without sacrificing creamy texture.
- For a gluten-free version, replace Jiffy mix with a gluten-free cornbread mix or create a homemade blend using cornmeal, gluten-free flour, and baking powder.
- Elevate the dish by sprinkling shredded cheddar cheese or crispy bacon bits on top during the last 10 minutes of baking for extra flavor and texture.
