Corn Casserole
Description
This Corn Casserole starts with melting butter and mixing it with sour cream and eggs. Canned whole kernel corn and cream-style corn are added for moisture and texture. The Jiffy corn muffin mix is folded into the wet ingredients until combined and then poured into a greased baking dish. Baking at 350°F for about 40-50 minutes sets the casserole, which should come out firm and no longer jiggle in the center. A toothpick inserted in the middle should come out clean.
The resulting casserole has a golden crust with a tender, moist interior rich from the combination of creamy corn, sour cream, and butter. It offers a balance of sweet and savory with cornbread texture enriched by the creamy ingredients. This dish serves well alongside meats or as part of a holiday meal.
Variations mentioned include making the casserole from scratch by whisking flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt, and baking soda instead of using the Jiffy mix, and adding cheese, diced green chilies, jalapeños, green onions, and bacon for additional layers of flavor and texture.
