- 15.25 oz. (1 can) whole kernel sweet corn, drained
- 8.5 oz. (1 small box) Jiffy corn muffin mix
- 8 oz. (about 1 cup) sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- Optional: 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded (add in the last 15 minutes of baking)
Instructions
Oven Method:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamed corn, drained whole kernel corn, Jiffy corn muffin mix, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), and melted butter. Stir until well combined. Do not overmix.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish (or a similar size) with butter or non-stick cooking spray. You can use a square dish, round pie dish, or even an oval baker.
- Pour and Spread: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. If you add cheddar cheese, sprinkle it over the top during the last 15 minutes of baking.
- Cool and Serve: Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Crock Pot Method:
- Prepare Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamed corn, drained whole kernel corn, Jiffy corn muffin mix, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), and melted butter. Stir until well combined.
- Grease Crock Pot: Grease the inside of a 4-quart or larger crock pot with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
- Transfer Mixture: Pour the mixture into the greased crock pot and spread it out evenly.
- Cook on Low: Cover and cook on the low setting for 3-4 hours, or until the casserole is set and cooked through.
- Optional Cheese: If using cheddar cheese, sprinkle it over the top in the last 15-20 minutes of cooking.
- Serve: Once done, turn off the crock pot and let the casserole cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Preparing Ahead:
- Mix Ingredients: Prepare the casserole mixture by combining all the ingredients (except for the optional cheese) as instructed.
- Refrigerate: Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish, cover it tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
Baking:
- Oven Method: When ready to bake, remove the casserole from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes while preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake as directed, adding cheese during the last 15 minutes if desired. Note that you may need to add an extra 5-10 minutes to the baking time since the mixture will be cold.
- Crock Pot Method: If using a crock pot, transfer the mixture from the baking dish to the greased crock pot. Cook on low for 3-4 hours as usual. No additional time is needed, as the crock pot will heat the mixture gradually.
