Description
Prepare a comforting and easy 4-Ingredient Corn Casserole that's perfect for any gathering or family dinner. This simple yet delicious dish is sure to be a crowd-pleaser!
Ingredients
- 1 can (15.25 oz) whole kernel corn, drained
- 1 can (14.75 oz) cream-style corn
- 1 box (8.5 oz) corn muffin mix (such as Jiffy)
- 1 cup sour cream
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x9 inch baking dish or similar-sized casserole dish.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together both the drained whole kernel corn and the cream-style corn. Stir in the corn muffin mix and sour cream until well combined.
- Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the corn mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread it out evenly with a spatula.
- Bake the Casserole: Place the dish in the preheated oven. Bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. It should be firm on the outside but still creamy inside.
Notes
- Corn Selection: The combination of whole kernel corn and cream-style corn provides a mix of textures. Be sure to drain the whole kernel corn to avoid excess liquid in the casserole.
- Corn Muffin Mix: Using a pre-made corn muffin mix like Jiffy adds sweetness and helps to bind the casserole. It's a convenient shortcut for flavor and texture.
- Consistency of the Batter: When you mix the ingredients, the batter will be quite moist. This is expected and will lead to a creamy texture once baked.
- Baking Dish Size: A 9x9 inch baking dish works well, but you can also use a similar-sized dish. If the dish is deeper, you might need to slightly increase the baking time.
- Oven Temperature: Baking at 350°F (175°C) allows the casserole to cook through evenly without burning the top.
