Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box 8.5 oz Jiffy corn muffin mix
  • 1/2 cup butter melted
  • 1 cup sour cream 8 oz
  • 1 can 15.25 oz regular corn, drained
  • 1 can 15.25 oz creamed corn
  • 2 large eggs
Optional substitutions:
  • Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for extra protein
  • Plant-based butter for dairy-free version
  • Sugar-free corn for lower carbs

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Drain the whole kernel corn thoroughly using a fine-mesh strainer.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk eggs until uniform. Add melted butter and sour cream, whisking until smooth and creamy.
  3. Stir in drained corn and creamed corn until evenly combined.
  4. Fold in Jiffy corn muffin mix gently until just combined — do not overmix.
  5. Grease an 8x8-inch casserole dish with butter and pour in the mixture, spreading evenly.
  6. Bake uncovered for 45 minutes, until golden brown and set in the center (internal temp 160°F).
  7. Let cool 5 minutes before serving for best texture.

Notes

For extra richness, mix in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese or top with bacon bits and chives. Double the recipe for a crowd using a 9x13-inch baking dish and bake for 50–55 minutes.
