Main Ingredients
- 1 (15 ounce) can creamed corn
- 1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
- 1 (8 ounce) package corn muffin mix (such as Jiffy)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the casserole.
- Combine Corn: In a large mixing bowl, combine the can of creamed corn along with the drained whole kernel corn, ensuring both are well mixed for texture balance.
- Add Muffin Mix: Add the corn muffin mix (such as Jiffy) to the bowl with the corn mixture. This adds structure and richness to the casserole.
- Stir in Sour Cream: Mix in the sour cream, which adds creaminess and moisture.
- Pour in Melted Butter: Add the melted butter to the mixture, incorporating rich flavor and helping to keep the casserole moist.
- Drizzle in Honey: Drizzle the honey into the bowl to add a natural sweetness that complements the corn perfectly.
- Add Beaten Egg: Add the beaten egg to help bind the ingredients together and create the casserole’s texture.
- Season: Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to enhance the flavors.
- Mix: Gently mix all ingredients together until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender texture.
- Pour and Bake: Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly for uniform cooking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top browns too quickly, tent with foil to prevent burning.
- Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to cool for 10-15 minutes, which helps it set and makes it easier to slice.
- Serve: Slice the casserole and serve warm as a delightful side dish.
Notes
- You can substitute butter with margarine or a dairy-free alternative for a different flavor profile.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeños.
- This casserole can be prepared a day ahead and reheated in the oven at 300°F for 15-20 minutes.
- If the top begins to brown too quickly during baking, tent with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
- Use fresh corn if available, but adjust moisture levels accordingly as canned corn contains more liquid.
