Ingredients

Scale

Corn Casserole

½ cup butter (melted)
2 large eggs
8.5 ounces Jiffy cornbread mix (1 box)
15.25 ounces corn (rinsed, drained)
14.75 ounces creamed corn (undrained)
1 cup sour cream
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
2 cups cheddar cheese (divided)

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F to ensure it’s ready for baking the casserole.
Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a 9×9 or 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly with nonstick spray to prevent the casserole from sticking during baking.
Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, eggs, Jiffy cornbread mix, rinsed and drained corn, undrained creamed corn, sour cream, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated, taking care not to overmix.
Add Cheese: Stir in 1 cup of the cheddar cheese into the mixture, reserving the remaining 1 cup for topping.
Fill Baking Dish: Pour the prepared mixture evenly into the greased baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
Cover and Bake: Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes to allow the casserole to set.
Uncover and Continue Baking: Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly and the casserole is cooked through.
Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving warm as a hearty side dish.

Notes

Use a 9×9-inch dish for a thicker casserole or a 9×13-inch dish for a thinner casserole.
Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before slicing to help it set and maintain shape.
For extra flavor, you can add chopped jalapeños or diced green chilies to the mixture.
To make it gluten-free, substitute the Jiffy cornbread mix with a certified gluten-free cornbread mix.
Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheat before serving.
