Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (8.5 oz) Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
  • 1 can (15 oz) whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 can (15 oz) creamed corn
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1½ cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (divided)
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and diced (optional)
  • 3–4 green onions, sliced (optional)
  • 4 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 or 9×9 baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter (cooled slightly), sour cream, and eggs until smooth.
  3. Stir in the drained whole kernel corn and creamed corn.
  4. Pour in the Jiffy corn muffin mix and stir until just combined. Fold in 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese, reserving the remaining ½ cup for the top.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of cheddar cheese on top. Add optional jalapeños, green onions, or bacon if desired.
  6. Bake at 350°F for 40-45 minutes for an 8×8 dish, or 35-40 minutes for a 9×9 dish, until the top is golden brown, edges pull away from the sides, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Don’t overmix the batter; a few lumps are fine. Shred your own cheese for best melting. Let the casserole rest before serving for clean slices. Check for doneness early as ovens vary. Use room temperature eggs for even mixing.
