Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup whole kernel corn (canned or fresh, drained if canned)
- 1 cup creamed corn (canned)
- 0.75 cup sour cream
- 2 large eggs
- 1 box Jiffy cornbread mix
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or similar-sized casserole dish with nonstick spray or butter.
Step 2
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter and set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole kernel corn, creamed corn, sour cream, and melted butter. Stir until evenly mixed.
Step 4
Add the eggs to the mixture and whisk well to incorporate.
Step 5
Gradually stir in the Jiffy cornbread mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, granulated sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix until distributed evenly throughout the batter.
Step 7
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly using a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean (a few moist crumbs are fine).
Step 9
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows it to set properly.
Step 10
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy the creamy, cheesy, Southern flavors!
