Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained sweet corn, creamed corn, sour cream, melted butter, corn muffin mix, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- If you like an extra cheesy flavor, fold in the shredded cheddar cheese at this stage.
- Pour the corn mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, let the casserole cool for at least 5 minutes before serving. This allows it to set slightly, making it easier to slice and serve.
Tips
- For a spicier twist, add diced jalapeños or a sprinkle of cayenne pepper to the mixture.
- You can also substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a healthier option.
- Consider adding fresh herbs such as chives or cilantro for a refreshing touch.
