Ingredients
Scale
1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 (14.75 ounce) can cream-style corn, undrained
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1 box (8.5 ounces) cornbread mix (like Jiffy)
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine the drained whole kernel corn and the cream-style corn.
Add the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and 1/2 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese to the corn mixture. Mix until everything is smooth and well combined.
Stir in the dry cornbread mix until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lightly beaten eggs and the melted butter. Pour this mixture into the corn batter and stir gently until combined.
Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
Let the casserole cool for 10 minutes before serving. This recipe is a great alternative if you are looking for simple meal planning ideas that skip the need for meal delivery companies.
Notes
You can use frozen corn if you thaw and drain it well before using.
For a richer flavor, substitute half of the cheddar cheese with Monterey Jack.
If you want to avoid the hassle of cooking, consider looking into the best meal delivery services for simple weeknight options, but this casserole is worth the effort.
This dish pairs well with roasted chicken or pork tenderloin.
