How to Make Awesome and Easy Creamy Corn Casserole

This recipe is very simple to prepare, yet the result is consistently tender, creamy, and beautifully golden. Each step builds the soft structure of the casserole while maintaining the comforting corn flavor that makes this dish a year round favorite.

Step 1: Prepare the Baking Dish and Preheat the Oven

Gather all ingredients first to streamline the process. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, which achieves the ideal baking temperature for maintaining a custard like interior texture without overbrowning the top. Lightly grease a 9 by 9 inch baking dish to prevent sticking and to help the casserole release cleanly after baking.

Step 2: Combine All Ingredients Thoroughly

In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the whole kernel corn, creamed corn, cornbread mix, sour cream, melted butter, and beaten eggs. Mix until everything is evenly incorporated. The mixture will be thick, creamy, and speckled with kernels of corn. This combination of ingredients creates a batter that bakes into a soft, tender casserole with rich flavor.

Step 3: Transfer to the Baking Dish

Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Smooth the top gently with a spatula to help the casserole bake uniformly. Even distribution allows the center to set properly and creates a beautifully consistent texture from edge to center.

Step 4: Bake the Casserole

Place the dish into the preheated oven. Bake for about 45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The edges will be lightly browned and the center will be firm but soft.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to rest for a few minutes before serving. This short rest period helps the structure settle, making it easier to cut and serve clean portions.

Tips for the Best Creamy Corn Casserole

1. For extra richness, add one cup of shredded Cheddar cheese into the batter.
2. For heat lovers, chopped jalapenos or a small diced poblano pepper add flavor and a little spice.
3. To double the recipe, use a 9 by 13 inch dish. Baking time remains close to the same as long as the mixture is spread evenly.

Serving Suggestions and Pairings

• This casserole pairs perfectly with roasted turkey, baked ham, barbecue chicken, or slow cooked beef.
• It also serves well alongside green beans, collard greens, mashed potatoes, or sautéed vegetables.
• For a vegetarian meal, serve it with a fresh salad, roasted root vegetables, or a hearty vegetable stew.
