Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (15.25 oz) can whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 (14.75 oz) can cream-style corn
  • 1 (8.5 oz) box Jiffy corn muffin mix
  • 1 cup sour cream, full-fat
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained whole kernel corn and cream-style corn. Stir to distribute.
  3. Add the Jiffy corn muffin mix and stir gently until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
  4. Pour in the melted butter and sour cream. Stir until combined. The batter should be thick but pourable.
  5. Fold in 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese. Reserve the remaining 1/2 cup for the top.
  6. Season with salt and pepper. Stir once more, then scrape the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese over the top.
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Let cool for 10 minutes on a cooling rack before serving.
  10. Garnish with chopped chives or green onions if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

For best results, use full-fat sour cream and real butter. Shred your own cheddar cheese for optimal melting. If the top browns too quickly, tent with foil for the last 10 minutes. The casserole can be assembled up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerated; add 5-10 minutes to baking time.
