Corn Casserole Oven Baked (Print Version)

Creamy corn and cornbread baked with cheese for a warm, comforting dish everyone will love.

# Ingredients:

→ Base Components

01 - 425 grams whole kernel corn, drained
02 - 425 grams cream-style corn
03 - 240 grams sour cream
04 - 115 grams unsalted butter, melted
05 - 2 large eggs
06 - 240 grams corn bread mix

→ Enhancements

07 - 100 grams shredded cheddar cheese
08 - 2.5 grams salt
09 - 0.5 grams ground black pepper

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 175°C. Grease a 23×23 cm or 23×33 cm baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, blend the drained whole kernel corn, cream-style corn, sour cream, melted butter, and eggs until thoroughly incorporated.
03 - Add the corn bread mix and stir gently, mixing only until just combined. Avoid overmixing for optimal texture.
04 - If desired, gently fold the shredded cheddar cheese into the batter for added creaminess and flavor.
05 - Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
06 - Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until the surface is golden and the center is set. A toothpick inserted in the center should emerge mostly clean.
07 - Allow the casserole to rest for 5–10 minutes before serving to enable slight firming and easier portioning.

# Notes:

01 - For extra flavor and moisture, use freshly shredded cheese rather than pre-grated varieties.
02 - This dish can be assembled ahead and refrigerated, then baked just before serving.
