# What You'll Need:
→ Pantry Staples
01 - 1 box (8.5 oz) Jiffy corn muffin mix
02 - 1 can (15 oz) whole kernel corn, drained
03 - 1 can (15 oz) creamed corn
04 - 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
05 - 1 cup sour cream
→ Optional Additions
06 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
# How to Make:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or similar casserole dish with butter or cooking spray.
02 - In a large bowl, add drained whole kernel corn, creamed corn, sour cream, melted butter, and Jiffy corn muffin mix. Stir with spatula until just blended—do not overmix.
03 - If incorporating cheese, fold shredded cheddar into batter until evenly distributed.
04 - Pour batter into prepared baking dish. Use spatula to spread mixture evenly across surface.
05 - Bake for 45–50 minutes until top is golden brown and center is set. A toothpick inserted in middle should come out clean or with moist crumbs.
06 - Remove from oven and let casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows texture to set for cleaner slicing.
# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- This is the kind of side dish that makes people ask for the recipe before they have even finished their first bite, and you will feel secretly proud because it took about five minutes of actual effort.
- There is something magical about how the sweet corn balances with the savory elements, creating this creamy, pudding-like texture that somehow manages to feel both indulgent and homey at the same time.
02 -
- I learned the hard way that letting it cool for those five minutes actually matters—the first time I served it immediately and it was delicious but soupy, whereas a brief rest makes it hold its shape much better.
- The surface might look done before the center is completely set, so trust the 45-minute mark and look for that golden brown color rather than just the visual appearance.
03 -
- Room temperature ingredients blend together more easily and create a smoother texture, so try to set everything out about thirty minutes before you start mixing.
- If the top is browning too quickly but the center is not set, lay a piece of foil loosely over the dish for the last ten minutes of baking time.
