Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 box Jiffy Cornbread Mix
Wet Ingredients
- 1 can Creamed Corn (approximately 14.75 oz)
- 1 can Whole Kernel Corn, drained (approximately 15.25 oz)
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 stick Butter, melted (1/2 cup or 113 grams)
- 1 cup Sour Cream
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the casserole evenly.
- Prepare the Baking Dish: Lightly grease a medium-sized casserole dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking and help the casserole brown nicely.
- Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients Separately: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Jiffy Cornbread Mix, eggs, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
- Add Corn: Gently fold in the creamed corn and the drained whole kernel corn into the cornbread mixture. This adds texture and a sweet corn flavor throughout the casserole.
- Incorporate Sour Cream: Add the sour cream carefully and fold it into the batter to keep the mixture fluffy and creamy without overmixing.
- Bake the Casserole: Pour the combined mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Let the casserole cool slightly to set before serving. This helps it firm up for easier slicing and better texture.
Notes
- Ensure the whole kernel corn is well drained to avoid a soggy casserole.
- Do not overmix the batter after adding sour cream to maintain a light texture.
- This casserole can be made ahead of time and refrigerated before baking; just increase baking time by about 10 minutes if baking from cold.
- Try adding shredded cheese or chopped jalapeños for a variation with extra flavor and spice.
- Leftovers can be stored covered in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
