Ingredients
Scale
Dry Mix
- 1 box of Jiffy Corn Muffin mix (8 ounces, dry mix only)
Corn
- 15 ounces whole kernel corn, drained
- 15 ounces creamed corn, not drained
Dairy & Fat
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350ºF (175ºC). Prepare an 8×8 inch baking pan by spraying it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the dry Jiffy Corn Muffin mix with the drained whole kernel corn, creamed corn (with liquid), sour cream, and melted butter. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly mixed.
- Pour and Bake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the casserole is lightly golden brown on top and set in the center.
- Season and Garnish: After baking, add salt and black pepper to taste. Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley or sliced green onions for added freshness and color.
Notes
- Make sure to drain the whole kernel corn well to avoid a watery casserole.
- Check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out mostly clean.
- Use full-fat sour cream for best texture and flavor, but low-fat can be substituted for a lighter version.
- This casserole can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated before baking; just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking cold.
- For a bit of a kick, consider adding a teaspoon of diced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
