Ingredients

Scale

Corn Mixture

  • 1 (15-ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 (15-ounce) can cream-style corn
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Dry Ingredients and Cheese

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 (8.5-ounce) box corn muffin mix (e.g., Jiffy)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
  2. Mix Base Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained whole kernel corn, cream-style corn, sour cream, softened cream cheese, and melted butter. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
  3. Add Cheese and Dry Ingredients: Incorporate the shredded cheddar cheese, corn muffin mix, garlic powder (if using), salt, and pepper into the corn mixture. Stir gently but evenly to distribute all ingredients throughout.
  4. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the prepared mixture into the greased baking dish and spread it out evenly to ensure consistent cooking.
  5. Bake: Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges turn lightly golden brown.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Optionally, garnish with extra shredded cheddar cheese or freshly chopped parsley for added flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to easily blend with other ingredients.
  • Do not overbake to avoid drying out the casserole; the center should be just set.
  • Optional garlic powder adds subtle flavor but can be omitted for a milder taste.
  • Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • This casserole pairs well with roasted meats or as a hearty vegetarian main with a salad.
