Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 cups sweet corn kernels, drained (or fresh/frozen, thawed)
• 15 ounces cream-style corn
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 8.5 ounces jiffy-style cornbread mix
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons optional chopped chives or parsley (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the 4 tablespoons of butter in the microwave, or melt it gently on the stovetop.

Step 3

Add the sweet corn kernels, cream-style corn, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, cornbread mix, eggs, sugar, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the melted butter.

Step 4

Mix all ingredients together until thoroughly combined and you have a thick batter-like mixture.

Step 5

Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out with a spatula to ensure it's smooth on top.

Step 6

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the casserole is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.

Step 7

Let the casserole cool slightly for about 5 minutes to set. Garnish with chopped chives or parsley, if desired.

Step 8

Cut into squares or scoop out portions to serve warm. Enjoy!
