Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) whole kernel corn, drained
- 1 can (15 oz) creamed corn
- 1 cup cornmeal or Jiffy corn muffin mix
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for a cheesy variation)
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions or chives (optional, for garnish)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or a similar-sized casserole dish.
- Mix the Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained whole kernel corn, creamed corn, cornmeal (or Jiffy corn muffin mix), sour cream, melted butter, and eggs. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Add Optional Ingredients:
- If you like, fold in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese for a cheesy version of the casserole. You can also season with salt and pepper according to your taste.
- Bake the Casserole:
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with chopped green onions or chives, if desired. Serve warm.
