How To Make Corn Casserole
***For complete recipe instructions, see the recipe card below.
- First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and spray an 8×8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Then, melt the butter in a small microwave-safe bowl.
- Mix whole-kernel corn, creamed corn, sour cream, and eggs in a large bowl.
- Stir in the muffin mix, followed by the melted butter.
- Evenly spread the mixture into the baking dish and bake for forty-five to fifty minutes.
- Finally, serve immediately and enjoy.
Recipe Variations and Substitutions
- Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend of cheeses on top of the casserole before baking. It will melt and create a delicious cheesy crust.
- Spicy kick: Add diced jalapeños or green chilies to the corn casserole if you enjoy spicy flavors. Mix them in with the other ingredients for a touch of heat.
- Fresh herbs: Incorporate fresh herbs like chopped chives, parsley, or cilantro to add freshness and aroma to the casserole. Mix them into the batter before baking, or sprinkle them as a garnish after the casserole is cooked.
- Bacon: Cook and crumble bacon, then mix it into the corn casserole batter. The smoky and savory flavor of bacon pairs well with the sweetness of the corn.
- Healthier substitutions: Replace the melted butter with melted coconut oil or olive oil. Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream, and consider using a healthier corn muffin mix or making your cornbread mix from scratch.
- Gluten-free option: If you need a gluten-free version, choose a gluten-free cornbread mix or make your gluten-free cornbread mix.
