Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 package (8.5 ounces) Jiffy corn muffin mix
- 1 can (15 ounces) whole kernel corn, drained
- 1 can (15 ounces) creamed corn
Dairy and Additions:
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 350°F and coating a 9×13-inch baking vessel with a thin layer of grease to prevent sticking.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, amalgamate whole kernel corn, creamed corn, Jiffy corn muffin mix, sour cream, and liquefied butter, whisking thoroughly until the components form a uniform mixture.
- For cheese enthusiasts, incorporate shredded cheddar into the blend, ensuring even distribution throughout the concoction.
- Transfer the harmonized mixture into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the surface to create an even layer that will cook consistently.
- Position the dish in the preheated oven and allow it to transform for 45-50 minutes, watching for a rich golden-brown surface and a firmly set center that indicates complete cooking.
- After removing from the oven, permit the casserole a brief resting period to stabilize its structure, which will facilitate cleaner cutting and serving.
Notes
- Enhance moisture by adding a splash of milk or cream for a smoother, more luxurious texture.
- Customize the dish by mixing in diced jalapeños or green chilies for a spicy kick that elevates the flavor profile.
- Transform this side dish into a main course by incorporating cooked ground beef, shredded chicken, or crumbled bacon for added protein.
- Make it gluten-free by substituting the Jiffy mix with a gluten-free cornbread mix, ensuring everyone can enjoy this comforting casserole.
