This creamy, golden-topped corn casserole with sour cream and sharp cheddar is the ultimate comfort food side dish. It’s incredibly easy to make with just five main ingredients and disappears fast at any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boxes (8.5 oz each) Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
  • 1 can (15.25 oz) whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 can (14.75 oz) cream-style corn
  • 1 cup (8 oz) sour cream
  • 2 cups (8 oz) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Jalapeño slices for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the Jiffy corn muffin mix, drained whole kernel corn, cream-style corn, sour cream, melted butter, and beaten eggs. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.
  3. Fold in 1 1/2 cups of the shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Reserve the remaining 1/2 cup for topping.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  5. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Add optional toppings if desired.
  6. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Let the casserole cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature ingredients and shred your own cheese. Let the casserole rest before serving to set properly. To make ahead, assemble the night before and refrigerate; add 10-15 minutes to baking time. Leftovers keep for up to 5 days in the refrigerator or freeze for up to 3 months.
