Ingredients

  • 1 can whole kernel corn, drained 15 ounce can, or 14 ounces of frozen corn
  • 1 can cream-style corn 15 ounce can
  • 1 box corn muffin mix 8.5 ounce box
  • 1 cup sour cream 250mL
  • 2 eggs *optional
  • 6 tablespoons butter melted, and slightly cooled
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon fresh black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F / 180°C. Butter an 8x8 baking dish (or spray with non-stick cooking spray), and set aside.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk eggs with melted butter.
  • Add sour cream, corn kernels, and creamed corn. Season with salt and pepper. Stir to thoroughly combine.
  • Add muffin mix and stir to combine again, making sure to scrape the bottom and sides of bowl to fully incorporate everything.
  • Pour into an 8x8 glass baking dish (or 2.5 liter baking dish), and bake at 350°F / 180°C for 50 - 60 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
    *If it is getting too brown on the top, lower the oven to 325°. You can also loosely cover the top with aluminum foil.

Notes

  • When a knife inserted in the center comes out mostly clean - it's done!
  • If you use a deep casserole dish, you will have to increase baking time by a few minutes.
  • To double the recipe, use a 9x13 pan, and increase the baking time by about 15 - 18 minutes.
  • If you choose not to use the eggs, it will be fine. The casserole will not be quite as fluffy.
  • As a precaution (though it's never happened), I always bake this on a small baking sheet in case there is a spill. It also makes it easier to take out of the oven.
