Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (15 oz) whole kernel corn, drained
- 1 can (15 oz) creamed corn
- 1 box (8.5 oz) Jiffy corn muffin mix
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 2 large eggs
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Mix Base: Beat cream cheese, sour cream, butter, and eggs until smooth.
- Add Corn: Stir in both cans of corn and combine gently.
- Fold In Jiffy Mix: Add muffin mix, salt, pepper, and cheddar (if using).
- Bake: Pour into prepared dish and bake 45–50 minutes, until golden and just set.
- Rest: Let cool 10 minutes before serving — this helps it firm up.
- Garnish: Drizzle with butter or top with chopped chives if desired.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese for a smooth, creamy batter.
- Do not overmix — a light hand keeps the casserole fluffy.
- Add a drizzle of honey for a subtle sweet touch.
- Watch the baking time to avoid overbaking.
- Mix in jalapeños or green chiles for a little heat.
- Sharp cheddar adds more flavor depth than mild cheese.
- Let it rest before cutting — it thickens as it cools!
