Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (15 ounces) whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 can (15 ounces) creamed corn
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened and cubed
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 box (8.5 ounces) Jiffy corn muffin mix
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • Optional Topping: 1 cup crushed Ritz crackers mixed with 3 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish or a 2-quart casserole dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the drained whole kernel corn and the creamed corn.
  3. Add the softened cream cheese cubes, melted butter, Jiffy corn muffin mix, eggs, and sour cream to the corn mixture. Mix everything together until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.
  5. Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish.
  6. If using the optional topping, mix the crushed Ritz crackers and melted butter together, then sprinkle evenly over the top of the casserole batter.
  7. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are lightly golden brown. If you added a cracker topping, it should be golden.
  8. Let the Cheesy Corn Casserole rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving warm.

Notes

  • For an extra rich flavor, use sharp cheddar cheese instead of mild.
  • If you want a slightly spicy kick, add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the batter.
  • This casserole pairs well with roasted meats or grilled chicken for a complete family dinner.
