This creamy corn casserole is a nostalgic comfort food classic, featuring sweet corn, a fluffy cornbread base, and a golden, bubbly cheddar cheese topping. It’s quick to prepare, crowd-pleasing, and perfect for holidays, potlucks, or cozy family dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (15 oz) whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 can (15 oz) creamed corn
  • 1 cup sour cream (full-fat preferred)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 box (8.5 oz) cornbread muffin mix (e.g., Jiffy)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • Optional: Fresh chives or parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together sour cream, melted butter, and eggs until smooth and creamy.
  3. Stir in whole kernel corn and creamed corn. Mix gently to combine.
  4. Add cornbread muffin mix, salt, and pepper. Stir just until combined; do not overmix.
  5. Pour mixture into prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
  6. Bake for 40 minutes, until edges are set and center is slightly wobbly.
  7. Remove from oven and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Add paprika or chopped chives if desired.
  8. Return to oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, until cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown. For a crispier top, broil for 1-2 minutes, watching closely.
  9. Let casserole rest for at least 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
  10. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve warm.

Notes

Let casserole rest before serving for clean slices. Shred your own cheese for best melt. For gluten-free, use a gluten-free cornbread mix. For dairy-free, substitute plant-based butter, sour cream, and cheese. Add green chiles or jalapeño for a spicy twist. Double recipe for a crowd and bake in a 9×13-inch pan.
