Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (15 oz / 425 g) whole kernel corn, drained
- 1 can (14.75 oz / 418 g) creamed corn
- 1 package (8.5 oz / 241 g) dry cornbread mix
- 1 cup (240 ml / 8 fl oz) sour cream
- ½ cup (120 ml / 4 fl oz) melted butter
- 2 large eggs, beaten
Instructions
- Preparation: Activate the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lubricate a 9×9-inch baking vessel with cooking spray or butter to prevent adhesion.
- Mixture Creation: Amalgamate whole kernel corn and creamed corn in a capacious mixing vessel. Integrate cornbread mix thoroughly, ensuring no residual clumps remain.
- Liquid Integration: Fold sour cream and molten butter into the corn concoction, whisking eggs simultaneously to generate a velvety, homogeneous blend.
- Baking Process: Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, utilizing a silicone spatula to distribute contents uniformly and establish a level surface.
- Thermal Transformation: Position the dish in the preheated oven, baking for 40-45 minutes until the surface achieves a rich golden-bronze hue. Validate doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center, which should emerge clean.
- Resting and Serving: Extract the casserole from the oven, allowing it to stabilize for 5-10 minutes. Present warm as an inviting accompaniment that complements a diverse array of primary dishes, highlighting its luxurious texture and comforting essence.
Notes
- Prevent Lumps: Whisk cornbread mix thoroughly to eliminate any dry clumps for a smooth, consistent texture.
- Achieve Golden Top: Watch casserole closely during last 10 minutes of baking to ensure perfect golden-brown surface without burning.
- Creamy Consistency Tip: Use room temperature sour cream and melted butter for better ingredient integration and richer mouthfeel.
- Serving Suggestion: Let casserole rest 5-10 minutes after baking to allow proper setting and easier, cleaner serving portions.
