This Buttery Corn Bake Might Just Steal The Entire Dinner

ByEleni Stavros Published:

There’s something undeniably comforting about a warm, golden corn casserole fresh from the oven.

Soft in the center, slightly crisp at the edges, and rich with buttery sweetness, it’s the kind of dish that feels right at home on any table – holiday spreads, potlucks, or weeknight dinners.

What makes this version so irresistible is how effortlessly it comes together: just a handful of pantry ingredients, one bowl, and a little time in the oven.

Begin by melting the unsalted butter in the microwave until completely smooth and liquid.

Pour it into a large mixing bowl and whisk in a generous spoonful of sour cream.

Add the two eggs and keep whisking until the mixture turns silky and cohesive.

This creamy base gives the casserole its signature richness and ensures the final dish bakes up tender and flavorful.

Add The Corn For Texture And Sweetness

Next, fold in the corn kernels and creamed corn.

The combination of whole kernels and creamy corn adds both bite and moisture, creating that soft, almost custard-like interior people love in corn casserole.

Make sure everything is evenly distributed so each serving has a perfect balance of sweetness and texture.

Sprinkle in the Jiffy corn muffin mix and stir gently until all the dry spots disappear.

You don’t need to overmix – a few lumps are completely normal and help keep the final result tender.

The muffin mix acts as the binder, giving the casserole structure while still keeping it fluffy and moist.

Pour the batter into a greased baking pan, smoothing the top lightly so it bakes evenly.

Transfer the pan to a preheated 350°F oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the casserole has puffed up beautifully and turned golden brown around the edges.

Once it’s set in the center, take it out and let it rest for a few minutes before cutting.

Serve warm and enjoy every cozy, buttery bite.
