Ingredients

  • 1 (15 ounce) can creamed corn
  • 1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 (8 ounce) package corn muffin mix (such as Jiffy)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 inch baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamed corn and the drained whole kernel corn.
  3. Step 3: Add the corn muffin mix to the bowl and stir to combine.
  4. Step 4: Stir in the sour cream, then pour in the melted butter and drizzle the honey over the mixture.
  5. Step 5: Add the beaten egg to the bowl, then season with salt and black pepper.
  6. Step 6: Gently mix all ingredients together until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the casserole light and tender.
  7. Step 7: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  8. Step 8: Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If the top browns too quickly, tent with foil to prevent burning.
  9. Step 9: Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing and serving warm.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra richness, try adding 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese to the batter before baking.
  • If you prefer a less sweet casserole, reduce the honey to 2 tablespoons or substitute with maple syrup for a different flavor profile.
  • Use a non-stick spray or line your baking dish with parchment paper for an easier cleanup.
  • For a spicy twist, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeños to the mix before baking.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm individual portions in the microwave or reheat the whole casserole covered with foil in a 350°F oven until heated through.
