Description

This Cheesy Cream Cheese Corn Casserole is a comforting and creamy side dish perfect for family dinners or holiday gatherings. Made with a combination of whole kernel and cream-style corn, blended seamlessly with cream cheese, sour cream, and melted butter, then topped with cheddar cheese and corn muffin mix, this casserole bakes to a golden, bubbly perfection that’s rich, cheesy, and full of delightful corn flavor.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 (15-ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 (15-ounce) can cream-style corn
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 (8.5-ounce) box corn muffin mix (e.g., Jiffy)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
  2. Combine Corn and Dairy: In a large mixing bowl, add the drained whole kernel corn and cream-style corn. Mix in the sour cream, softened cream cheese, and melted butter. Stir these ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Add Cheese and Mix-ins: Incorporate the shredded cheddar cheese and the corn muffin mix into the bowl. Add the garlic powder if desired, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  4. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the prepared corn mixture into the greased baking dish. Spread it out evenly with a spatula to ensure uniform baking.
  5. Bake the Casserole: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes. Bake until the casserole is set in the center and shows a lightly golden crust around the edges.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Optionally, garnish with extra shredded cheddar cheese or chopped fresh parsley for added flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • Softening the cream cheese beforehand helps it blend smoothly into the mixture.
  • Use unsalted butter to better control the saltiness of the dish.
  • For a spicier twist, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeños.
  • You can substitute the cheddar cheese with Monterey Jack or a Mexican cheese blend.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven or microwave.
  • If the casserole seems too thick, a splash of milk can be added to loosen the batter before baking.
