Ingredients
  

  • 1 15 ounce can whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 15 ounce can creamed corn
  • 1 8.5 ounce package Jiffy corn muffin mix
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup butter melted
  • 2 large eggs beaten

Instructions
 

  • Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the drained whole kernel corn, creamed corn, Jiffy corn muffin mix, sour cream, melted butter, and beaten eggs. Stir everything together until well combined. The mixture should be thick yet cohesive.
  • Prepare the Baking Dish: Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking. You can use cooking spray or butter for this step.
  • Pour the Mixture: Transfer the corn mixture into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula for even baking.
  • Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the casserole is golden brown and set in the middle. You can check doneness by inserting a knife in the center; it should come out clean.
  • Cool and Serve: Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy the harmonious blend of flavors and textures!
  • What to Serve Classic Corn Casserole With:
  • Classic Corn Casserole pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes! It complements grilled meats perfectly, making it an excellent side for barbecues or family gatherings. Consider serving it with a simple green salad or some roasted vegetables for a well-rounded meal. If you’re in the mood for something comforting, you can also pair it with creamy mac and cheese or even fried chicken. Additionally, a refreshing beverage like iced tea or lemonade will balance the richness of the casserole beautifully.
  • Top Tips for Perfecting Classic Corn Casserole:
  • To elevate your corn casserole to the next level, here are some top tips to keep in mind:
  • Ingredient Substitutions: If you don’t have Jiffy corn muffin mix, you can make your own by combining 1 cup cornmeal, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
  • Timing Adjustments: If you prefer a crispy top, you can broil the casserole for the last few minutes—just keep a close eye on it!
  • Avoiding Common Mistakes: Make sure to drain the whole kernel corn thoroughly to avoid a watery casserole.
  • Storing and Reheating Tips:
  • Leftover Classic Corn Casserole can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For longer storage, you can freeze it for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply place it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20-30 minutes if frozen, or 10-15 minutes if refrigerated, until heated through. For an even creamier texture, consider adding a splash of milk before reheating.
