Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
Dry Ingredients
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 8.5 ounce package cornbread mix (such as Jiffy)
Corn
- 15 ounce can whole corn kernels, drained
- 15 ounce can creamed corn (or homemade)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish using nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, melted butter, and sugar until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Dry and Corn Ingredients: Stir in the cornbread mix along with the drained whole corn kernels and the creamed corn. Mix thoroughly until everything is evenly incorporated.
- Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly and smoothing the top with a spatula for an even bake.
- Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 55 to 60 minutes. Bake until the top turns golden brown and a toothpick or cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 to 10 minutes. This resting helps it set for easier slicing.
- Enjoy: Slice and serve warm as a comforting side dish to your favorite meal.
Notes
- For a spicier version, consider adding jalapeño peppers or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the mixture before baking.
- If you prefer a dairy-free option, substitute sour cream and butter with plant-based alternatives, keeping in mind it might alter the texture slightly.
- Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best results.
- You can substitute the cornbread mix with a homemade blend of cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt if desired.
