Easy Corn Casserole
Description
Easy Corn Casserole uses a mix of cornmeal and flour with sugar and baking powder to form a light base, which is combined with canned creamed corn and drained whole kernel corn for moisture and corn flavor. Sour cream and melted salted butter add richness and creaminess, while eggs help bind the ingredients. Minced jalapeño gives a mild hint of spiciness that balances sweetness without overwhelming.
The batter is poured into a greased baking dish and baked at a moderate temperature until the center is firm and no longer jiggly, resulting in a warm casserole that is tender inside with a lightly golden surface. This dish is appealing as a side at meals where a hearty, cornbread-like accompaniment is desired.
A note in the recipe suggests substituting store-bought cornbread mix for the dry ingredients for convenience.
