This recipe is incredibly simple but delivers a restaurant-level flavor that will have your family begging for seconds.
🥘 Ingredients:
- 1 can (15 oz) whole kernel corn, drained
- 1 can (15 oz) creamed corn
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 box (8.5 oz) Jiffy corn muffin mix
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional but amazing)

👩🍳 Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained corn, creamed corn, sour cream, melted butter, and corn muffin mix. Stir until smooth and well blended.
- Add in the shredded cheese if you want that extra gooey layer of flavor (highly recommended!).
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake for 45–50 minutes or until the top turns beautifully golden and slightly crisp on the edges.
- Let it cool for 10 minutes before serving. The texture sets as it rests, becoming creamy inside with a perfect golden crust on top.
💡 Pro Tips:
- Want it spicier? Add diced jalapeños or pepper jack cheese.
- To make it richer, stir in 2 tablespoons of cream cheese before baking.

- Perfect for holidays, potlucks, or weeknight dinners.
