This Easy Corn Casserole is a comforting and flavorful side dish made with a creamy mixture of corn, sour cream, and cornbread mix. It’s simple to prepare and perfect for family dinners, holidays, or potlucks.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or a similar-sized casserole dish.
Mix the Ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine both types of corn, cornbread mix, sour cream, melted butter, salt, and pepper. Stir well until all ingredients are fully incorporated. If using cheese, stir in half of the shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake the Casserole:
Pour the corn mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread it out evenly. If desired, sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the casserole is golden and set in the middle.
Serve:
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Make Ahead: You can prepare the casserole ahead of time and refrigerate it until ready to bake. Just add a few extra minutes to the cooking time if baking from cold.
Customization: Add diced jalapeños for a spicy kick or stir in crumbled bacon for extra flavor.
Serving Tip: This casserole pairs wonderfully with roast chicken, pork, or beef, making it an ideal side dish for any meal.
