Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (8.5 oz) Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
  • 1 can (15 oz) whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 can (15 oz) cream-style corn
  • 1 cup (8 oz) sour cream
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 cups (8 oz) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add the Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix, salt, and pepper. Whisk to break up any clumps.
  3. Pour in the melted butter (cooled slightly), lightly beaten eggs, and sour cream. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Fold in the drained whole kernel corn, cream-style corn, and 1 1/2 cups of the shredded sharp cheddar. Reserve the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese for the topping.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Tap the dish gently on the counter to release air bubbles.
  6. Sprinkle the reserved 1/2 cup of sharp cheddar evenly over the top.
  7. Bake on the middle rack for 45-50 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let the casserole cool in the dish on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Don’t overmix the batter to avoid a tough casserole. Shred your own cheese for best melting. Let the melted butter cool slightly before adding to eggs. Check for doneness at 45 minutes. Use room temperature eggs for even mixing. The casserole tastes even better the next day.
