Ingredients

• 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup sour cream
• 0.5 cup milk
• 14.75 ounces canned creamed corn
• 15 ounces canned whole-kernel corn (drained)
• 0.75 cup yellow cornmeal
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
• 0.25 cup chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or butter.

Step 2

Melt the unsalted butter in a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl or on the stove. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until well combined and slightly frothy.

Step 4

Add the sour cream, milk, and melted butter to the mixing bowl. Stir until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Fold the canned creamed corn and drained whole-kernel corn into the batter, distributing evenly.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, combine the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually sift the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, folding gently until fully incorporated (but avoid overmixing).

Step 7

If using shredded cheddar cheese, stir it into the batter at this stage for extra flavor and richness.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it into an even layer using a spatula.

Step 9

Bake the cornbread casserole in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the casserole to cool slightly for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired, for a fresh and colorful finish.
