Ingredients
Scale
1 can (15 oz) whole kernel corn, drained
1 can (15 oz) creamed corn
8 oz cream cheese, softened and cubed
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 box (8.5 oz) Jiffy corn muffin mix
2 large eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup buttery cracker topping (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine the drained whole kernel corn and the creamed corn.
Add the softened cream cheese cubes, melted butter, Jiffy corn muffin mix, eggs, and sour cream to the corn mixture. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.
Pour the entire mixture into your prepared baking dish.
If using the topping, crush buttery crackers and mix them with 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the casserole.
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden brown.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
For an extra rich corn side dish, use a full block of cream cheese (8 oz).
You can prepare this recipe in a slow cooker on low for 3-4 hours if you need an oven-free option.
