Print Recipe

This sweet corn casserole is incredibly easy to make with simple ingredients like canned corn, corn muffin mix, sour cream, and cheddar cheese, with a subtle kick from jalapeño. It’s a crowd-pleasing side dish perfect for potlucks, holidays, or any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (15.25 oz) whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 can (14.75 oz) creamed corn
  • 1 box (8.5 oz) corn muffin mix (e.g., Jiffy)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained whole kernel corn, creamed corn, corn muffin mix, sour cream, melted butter, and beaten eggs. Stir until just combined (a few lumps are fine).
  3. Fold in 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese and the diced jalapeño until evenly distributed.
  4. Add the salt and pepper and give one more gentle stir.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  6. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
  7. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbly. The center should be set and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results, shred your own cheese from a block. Let the casserole cool for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow it to set. To make ahead, assemble the casserole (minus the final cheese topping) up to 24 hours in advance, refrigerate, then add cheese and bake, adding about 10 minutes to the baking time. For a deeper flavor, toast the diced jalapeño in a dry skillet for 2 minutes before adding.
