Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (15 oz) whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 can (15 oz) creamed corn
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened and cubed
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 box (8.5 oz) Jiffy corn muffin mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup crushed buttery crackers (like Ritz)
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the drained whole kernel corn, creamed corn, softened cream cheese, and 1/4 cup melted butter. Mix until mostly smooth.
  3. Add the corn muffin mix, eggs, and sour cream to the corn mixture. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.
  4. Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
  6. In a small bowl, combine the crushed buttery crackers and the remaining 4 tablespoons of melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the casserole batter.
  7. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the center is set.
  8. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before you serve it.

Notes

  • For an extra savory flavor, add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the batter mixture.
  • You can prepare the casserole mixture up to 24 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate, then add the topping and bake when ready, adding about 5-10 minutes to the bake time.
  • This dish pairs well with roasted meats or grilled chicken for a complete meal.
