1 can (15 oz) cream-style corn
1 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt for tang)
½ cup (1 stick) butter, melted
1 box (8.5 oz) corn muffin mix (like Jiffy)
1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
Optional upgrades:
1 jalapeño, diced (for heat)
½ cup crispy bacon bits
1 tsp smoked paprika (for depth)
(Pro Tip: Use fresh corn kernels in summer for extra sweetness!)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep & Mix
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine both corns, sour cream, and melted butter.
Stir in corn muffin mix until just combined (don’t overmix).
Fold in 1 cup cheese (reserve ½ cup for topping).
2. Bake to Golden Perfection
Pour batter into the dish and smooth the top.
Sprinkle with remaining cheese (and optional bacon/jalapeño).
Bake for 45–50 minutes until set and golden at the edges.
3. Serve & Swoon!
Let cool 5–10 minutes (it’ll thicken as it rests).
Garnish with chopped chives or parsley for freshness.
