Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 (15 oz) can whole kernel corn, drained

  • 1 (15 oz) can cream-style corn

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

  • ½ cup butter, melted

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 cup cornbread mix (Jiffy or homemade)

  • ½ cup milk

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Casserole Mixture

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together softened cream cheese and melted butter until smooth.

  3. Add eggs, milk, salt, and pepper, then mix well.

  4. Stir in whole corn, cream-style corn, cornbread mix, and shredded cheddar (if using).

  5. Mix until everything is evenly combined.

🔥 Pro Tip: For a spicy kick, add diced jalapeños or red pepper flakes!

2️⃣ Bake to Golden Perfection

  1. Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.

  2. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

  3. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving—this helps it set!

🔥 Pro Tip: For a crispy, cheesy crust, broil for the last 2 minutes!

3️⃣ Serve & Enjoy

  1. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or green onions.

  2. Serve warm as a side dish or as a main meal with a protein like grilled chicken!

🔥 Pro Tip: Pair with honey butter for a sweet-savory contrast!
