Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients and Mix-ins
- 15 ounce can whole kernel corn, drained (or 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen thawed corn)
- 15 ounce can cream style corn
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup freshly shredded sharp cheddar cheese (more to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350℉ and grease a 2-quart baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt until fully combined.
- Combine All Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the drained whole kernel corn, cream style corn, sour cream, melted butter, shredded cheddar cheese, and the dry ingredient mixture until well combined. Add extra cheese if you prefer a cheesier casserole.
- Bake: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes or until the casserole is golden brown on top and set in the center.
- Serve: Let the casserole cool slightly, then serve warm as a delicious side dish.
Notes
- Storing Leftovers: Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave or enjoy cold.
- Freezer Storage: Cool completely, transfer to an airtight freezer container, and freeze up to 6 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat before serving.
- Make Ahead: You can bake the casserole up to 2 days in advance and reheat at 350℉ for 15-20 minutes. Alternatively, prepare the batter up to 24 hours ahead and bake when ready.
- Doubling Recipe: Double the ingredients and bake in a 9×13-inch casserole dish. Increase bake time by at least 10 minutes or until set.
