Total Time 1 hour hr
- Main Ingredients
- 1 can 15 oz whole kernel corn, drained
- 1 can 15 oz creamed corn
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ cup 1 stick melted butter
- 1 box 8.5 oz Jiffy corn muffin mix
- 2 large eggs
- Optional Add-Ins
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or pepper jack cheese
- 2 tablespoons diced green chilies or jalapeños
- Fresh herbs chives or parsley for garnish
Prepare the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or similar with butter or nonstick spray.
Mix the Batter
In a large bowl, combine creamed corn, whole corn, sour cream, melted butter, and eggs.
Add Jiffy corn muffin mix and stir gently until combined — don’t overmix.
Bake
Pour the mixture into your prepared dish.
Bake uncovered for 45–55 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are golden brown.
Let cool for 5–10 minutes before serving so it firms slightly.
💡 Pro Tip: For a crustier top, bake uncovered the entire time. For a softer texture, cover halfway through baking.
-
Use room-temperature ingredients for even mixing.
-
Add shredded cheese for a richer, creamier texture.
-
Check doneness by inserting a knife in the center — it should come out mostly clean but slightly moist.
-
Let it rest before serving to help the creamy center set perfectly.
-
Drizzle melted butter over the top before serving for extra shine and flavor.
