How to make Easy Corn Casserole

Ingredients :

• 1 15-ounce can whole kernel corn, drained
• 1 15-ounce can cream-style corn
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large eggs
• 1 box Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix (or similar corn bread mix)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional, adjust to taste)
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (optional)

Directions :

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch or 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained whole kernel corn, cream-style corn, sour cream, melted butter, and eggs. Stir until fully blended.
3. Add the Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix to the bowl and stir until just combined, do not overmix.
4. If using cheese, gently fold in shredded cheddar.
5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly with a spatula.
6. Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. A toothpick inserted in the middle should come out mostly clean.
7. Let the casserole cool for 5–10 minutes before serving.
