Baked Corn Casserole
This hard-to-resist Baked Corn Casserole made with a simple corn bread mix, creamed corn, whole sweet corn, sour cream, green chiles, and cheese. It's creamy and the top is buttery crisp. An incredible side dish to any meal but especially for the holidays.
Ingredients
Creamed corn mixture:
- 1 (14.75 oz can creamy style corn
- 1 (15.25 oz can whole kernel sweet corn, drained
- 1 (4) oz can diced fire roasted green chiles, drained well optional
- 1 cup full-fat sour cream
- 1/2 cup melted butter, slightly cooled
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese see notes for other cheese options
Homemade corn bread mix
- 1/2 cup yellow corn meal
- 1/2 cup all-purposed flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp melted butter
Or substitute one 8.5 ounce box Jiffy corn mix. Only the mix- not the additional ingredients required from the manufactures instructions.
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350℉ and prepare a 2 qt baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
- In a medium size bowl combine all the creamed corn mixture until well incorporated.
- In a smaller mixing bowl combine the homemade corn bread mix until the mixture just comes together. It will be thick and slightly clumpy.
- Add the corn bread mixture to the bowl with the creamed corn ingredients and stir until combined, being careful not to over mix.
- Transfer mixture to the prepared baking dish and smooth out with the back of a spoon. Give it a little shake to release any air bubbles. Place uncovered in preheated oven for 1-hour or until the top is golden brown and the inside is set. Let stand 10-minutes before serving.
- Note: The inside is supposed to be creamy so it's not ideal to test with a tooth pick.
Notes
Tips:
Make ahead- This is a great recipe to prep the day before you’re going to serve it. Prepare all the ingredients and place in a greased casserole dish. Cover tightly with a lid or foil and place in the refrigerator for up to 1 day in advance. When ready to bake, let the casserole set out on the counter for 1 hour, then proceed with the baking temperature and time.
Use other cheese blends- Add your favorite cheese like Monterey Jack, pepper Jack, White cheddar cheese, parmesan, etc..
If serving with other sides this could easily serve 6-8 people.
