Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 (15 ounces / 425 grams) can whole kernel corn, drained
- 1 (15 ounces / 425 grams) can cream-style corn
- 1 (8.5 ounces / 241 grams) box Jiffy corn muffin mix
- 2 large eggs, beaten
Dairy and Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Seasonings and Sweeteners:
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (optional, for a sweeter version)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the cooking environment by heating the oven to 350°F and lightly coating a 9×13-inch baking vessel with a protective grease layer to prevent sticking.
- Create a smooth mixture by whisking eggs, sour cream, liquefied butter, and optional sweetener until they form a uniform consistency.
- Incorporate whole kernel corn, creamy corn puree, cornbread mix, seasoning, and optional shredded cheddar into the liquid base, stirring thoroughly to ensure all components are evenly distributed.
- Transfer the blended mixture into the prepared baking dish, using a spatula to spread the contents uniformly across the surface.
- Position the casserole in the preheated oven and allow it to transform for 40-50 minutes, monitoring until the surface achieves a golden-brown complexion and the interior sets completely.
- Verify the pudding’s readiness by inserting a clean utensil into the center, which should emerge without any clinging residue.
- Allow the casserole to rest and stabilize for approximately 5 minutes after removing from the oven, enabling it to firm up slightly.
- Serve the warm corn pudding as a complementary side alongside roasted poultry, smoked pork, barbecue selections, or traditional comfort cuisine.
Notes
- Customize the sweetness by adjusting sugar levels, making it more savory or slightly sweeter depending on personal preference.
- Experiment with cheese varieties like pepper jack or smoked gouda for a unique flavor twist that elevates the classic recipe.
- Make it gluten-free by substituting Jiffy mix with a gluten-free cornbread mix or alternative like almond flour for those with dietary restrictions.
- Enhance nutrition by adding diced jalapeños, green onions, or crispy bacon bits to introduce extra texture and depth of flavor.
