Ingredients
- 1 15-oz. can whole kernel corn, drained
- 1 15-oz. can cream-style corn
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 8 ½ oz box corn muffin mix
Step-by-step Directions
1. Preheat the Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (177°C), setting the stage for even baking.
2. Prepare the Casserole Dish
Lightly butter a 2-quart casserole dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving after baking.
3. Combine Ingredients
In a large bowl, mix the drained whole kernel corn, cream-style corn, beaten egg, melted butter, sour cream, and corn muffin mix until well combined. This mixture will form the base of your casserole.
4. Pour and Bake
Transfer the corn mixture into the prepared casserole dish. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 45-55 minutes. The top should be golden and the center set but still slightly jiggly to retain moisture.
5. Check for Doneness
Begin checking at 45 minutes by gently pressing the center of the bake. If it’s firm to touch and has a slight spring, it’s ready to come out of the oven.
