Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 (8.5 ounces / 241 grams) package Jiffy corn muffin mix
- 1 (14.75 ounces / 418 grams) can cream-style corn
- 1 (15.25 ounces / 432 grams) can whole kernel corn, drained (or 1 ½ cups frozen corn kernels)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Dairy and Binding Ingredients:
- 1 cup sour cream
- 6 tablespoons salted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and generously coat a 9×13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the corn mixture ingredients, ensuring an even distribution of all components for a consistent texture.
- Transfer the prepared mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly to create a uniform layer that will cook consistently.
- Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, watching for a golden-brown top and a firm, set center that indicates complete cooking.
- Once removed from the oven, allow the casserole to rest and settle for 10 minutes, which helps the dish maintain its structure and enhances the overall flavor melding.
- Alternative Slow Cooker Method: Prepare the mixture as previously described, then carefully pour into a non-stick sprayed crockpot.
- Cover the crockpot and cook on low temperature for 3-4 hours, gently stirring once midway through the cooking process to ensure even heating and prevent potential scorching.
- When using the slow cooker method, serve the corn casserole warm directly from the crockpot, maintaining its temperature and creamy consistency.
