Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 14 oz can creamed corn
- 12 oz can whole kernel sweet corn
- 8.5 oz package corn muffin mix
- ¾ cup sour cream
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish and set it aside to prepare for baking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamed corn, whole kernel sweet corn, corn muffin mix, sour cream, melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.
- Transfer to Casserole Dish: Pour the corn casserole mixture into the prepared casserole dish. Use a spatula to spread and smooth the top evenly for uniform baking.
- Bake the Casserole: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the top develops a light golden brown color.
- Add Cheese Topping: About 10 minutes before the baking time is complete, evenly sprinkle the shredded sharp cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole, then continue baking until the cheese melts and bubbles.
- Garnish with Parsley: After removing the casserole from the oven, sprinkle the freshly chopped parsley over the top to add a fresh, vibrant finish.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving to help it set and enhance the flavors.
Notes
- You can substitute the sour cream with Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
- For a spicier twist, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or diced jalapeños to the mixture.
- Make sure to grease the casserole dish well to prevent sticking.
- This dish pairs wonderfully with roasted meats or as part of a holiday meal spread.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
