Ingredients
Scale
Corn Mixture
- 1 (15 ounce) can creamed corn
- 1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
Batter
- 1 (8 ounce) package corn muffin mix
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare baking dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Combine corn: In a large mixing bowl, mix together the creamed corn and the drained whole kernel corn until well incorporated.
- Add corn muffin mix: Gently fold the corn muffin mix into the corn mixture until just combined to maintain a light texture.
- Incorporate sour cream: Blend the sour cream into the mixture for a creamy consistency that enriches the casserole.
- Add melted butter and honey: Drizzle the melted butter and honey into the mixture and swirl them together thoroughly for flavor and sweetness.
- Mix in egg and seasonings: Add the beaten egg, salt, and black pepper, stirring until everything is evenly combined to bind the ingredients.
- Transfer to baking dish: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool before serving: Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes to set, making it easier to slice and serve.
Notes
- For extra richness, you can add a cup of shredded cheddar cheese before baking.
- Ensure the corn muffin mix is fresh for best texture and rise.
- If you prefer a less sweet casserole, reduce the honey to 2 tablespoons.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
- Consider adding chopped jalapeño or a pinch of cayenne for a spicy twist.
