Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 box Jiffy cornbread mix (8.5 oz.)

Corn Ingredients

  • 1 can cream style corn (approx. 14.75 oz.)
  • 1 can corn kernels, drained (approx. 15.25 oz.)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup butter, melted
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup honey (use ⅓ cup for sweeter casserole)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the casserole.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: Whisk together the melted butter and egg until smooth. Then add the sour cream and honey, whisking thoroughly to combine all the wet ingredients evenly.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Stir in the cream style corn and the drained corn kernels. Next, add the Jiffy cornbread mix and gently fold everything together until just combined, ensuring a uniform batter.
  4. Prepare Baking Pan and Bake: Grease an 8×8 inch baking pan well to prevent sticking. Pour the batter into the pan and spread evenly. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean, with just a few crumbs attached.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the casserole to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before serving. For extra indulgence, serve with a dab of butter and a drizzle of honey on top for added moisture and sweetness.

Notes

  • For a sweeter casserole, increase honey from ¼ cup to ⅓ cup.
  • Make sure to drain the canned corn kernels well to avoid excess liquid in the batter.
  • Use an 8×8 inch baking pan for best results to ensure correct baking time and texture.
  • Letting the casserole cool slightly helps it set and makes it easier to slice and serve.
  • This dish pairs wonderfully with savory mains like roasted chicken or barbecue.
