How to Make Easy Corn Casserole Recipe

Ingredients are easy to find. You probably have most of them in your pantry already.

Begin by melting a stick of butter or margarine.  I put it on a microwave safe bowl and heat for 45 seconds.  It melts perfectly. 

Next, in a large bowl combine 1 box Jiffy corn muffin mix, 1 cup sour cream, 1 can of sweet creamed corn, 1 can of drained whole kernel corn.  Add melted butter or margarine and stir until mixed well.

Finally, pour mixture into a greased 9X13X2 baking dish.  Bake at 350°F for 45 to 50 minutes or until golden and set.  The texture should be like light cornbread, but moist inside.  Remove from oven, serve and enjoy!

How to Bake

Now that we have our ingredients ready, let’s go through the steps to bake this easy corn casserole:

1. Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your casserole cooks evenly and becomes perfectly golden brown.
2. Prepare Your Baking Dish: Spray a casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray. You can use an 8×8-inch baking dish or a larger one if you’re making a bigger batch.
3. Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Jiffy cornbread mix, whole kernel corn, cream-style corn, sour cream, melted butter, and shredded cheddar cheese. If you’re using chili powder, add that in as well. Stir everything together until well combined.
4. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the corn mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
5. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes. The casserole should be set in the middle and golden brown on top. You can use a toothpick to check for doneness—if it comes out clean, it’s ready!
6. Cool and Serve: Once it’s done, let the casserole cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving. This allows it to firm up a little and makes it easier to scoop. It can be served at room temperature.

Variations

This corn casserole is incredibly versatile! Here are a few variations to try next time:

• Cheesy Green Chiles: For a southwestern twist, add a can of diced green chiles. This will add flavor and a little heat.
• Creamy Addition: Mix in a cup of heavy cream to make it extra creamy. This makes the casserole even richer and more indulgent.
• Vegetable Medley: Add in some cooked bell peppers, onions, or even jalapeños for added flavor and texture.
• Corn Pudding: If you prefer a softer texture, reduce the baking time slightly to create a corn pudding casserole. Just bake until set but still creamy.
• Bacon: Adding crumbled cooked bacon will give the casserole a delicious, smoky flavor that pairs well with corn.
