Creamy, cheesy corn casserole with sweet and savory flavors, perfect as a comforting side dish for family dinners or holiday gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix cream-style corn, whole kernel corn (do not drain), sugar, and melted butter in a 2-quart greased casserole dish.
- Add Jiffy corn muffin mix to the mixture.
- Stir thoroughly until well combined.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40 minutes or until the top is browned and the casserole is cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider mixing in some shredded cheese or diced jalapeños. You can substitute melted margarine for butter if desired, and for a healthier twist, try using a low-fat version of the cream-style corn. If you're short on time, frozen corn can be used instead of canned corn. This recipe is quite forgiving, so feel free to adjust the sugar to your taste.
