Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups Corn (canned, frozen, or fresh) (Drain and pat dry if using canned or frozen corn.)
- 8 oz Cream cheese (Soften the cream cheese before mixing.)
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 2 large Eggs (Use room temperature eggs for even mixing.)
- 1/4 cup Butter (melted) (Melt before adding to the mixture.)
- 1 cup Shredded cheese (sharp cheddar preferred) (Grate your own cheese for best results.)
- 1 box Cornbread mix (Can substitute with homemade dry mix.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 baking dish with butter.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sour cream together until mostly smooth.
- Add melted butter and eggs, mixing until well incorporated.
- Stir in the corn, shredded cheese, and cornbread mix, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
Baking
- Bake for 40 to 55 minutes, checking at 40 minutes for doneness.
- The casserole is done when the edges are golden and pulling away, the center is set but soft, and a knife inserted comes out mostly clean.
Serving
- Allow the casserole to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
For variations, consider adding diced jalapeños for spice or bacon for heartiness. Mix the batter a day in advance and refrigerate for convenience.
