Instructions

  1. Preheat:

    Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  2. Mix:

    In a large bowl, stir together 1 can drained whole kernel corn, 1 can cream-style corn, 1 box corn muffin mix, 1 cup sour cream, and 8 tablespoons melted butter until just combined.

  3. Bake:

    Pour the mixture into the baking dish and spread evenly. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until golden brown on top and set in the center.

  4. Rest and serve:

    Let the corn casserole rest for 10 minutes before scooping and serving warm.

Tips

For a cheesy corn casserole, stir 1 cup shredded cheddar into the batter and sprinkle ½ cup more on top for the last 10 minutes. Add 1 diced jalapeño for a little heat. The center should be just set and slightly jiggly; it firms up as it rests.

Storage

Make ahead: mix, cover, and refrigerate unbaked for up to 1 day, then bake, adding 10 minutes. Leftovers keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; reheat covered at 350°F for 15 minutes.

Serving suggestions

Serve corn casserole with roast turkey, holiday ham, fried chicken, barbecue, or chili.
