  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 14.75-ounce can creamed corn
  • 1 14.75-ounce can whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 8.5-ounce box Jiffy cornbread mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) to prepare for baking the casserole.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the creamed corn, drained whole kernel corn, Jiffy cornbread mix, eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, and vegetable oil just until everything is evenly combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the casserole tender.
  3. Prepare Casserole Dish: Grease a 2-quart casserole dish lightly with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking, then pour the batter evenly into the dish.
  4. Add Extra Cheese (Optional): If you like a cheesy crust, sprinkle a little extra shredded cheddar cheese on top of the batter before baking to create a golden, crispy cheese layer.
  5. Bake the Casserole: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 55-60 minutes. Bake until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving to set slightly and enhance flavors.

Notes

  • Drain the whole kernel corn thoroughly to avoid excess moisture in the casserole.
  • Use sharp cheddar cheese for a stronger cheesy flavor or mild cheddar for a subtler taste.
  • Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep the casserole light and fluffy.
  • Allow the casserole to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving to help it set and slice easily.
  • This casserole can be reheated in the oven or microwave; cover with foil when reheating in the oven to retain moisture.
