Ingredients

• 1 can (15 ounces) whole kernel corn, drained
• 1 can (15 ounces) creamed corn
• 1 package (8.5 ounces) Jiffy corn muffin mix
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

How to Make Jiffy Corn Casserole

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to ensure easy removal of the casserole after baking.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the whole kernel corn, creamed corn, Jiffy corn muffin mix, sour cream, and melted butter. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated.
3. Add Cheese (Optional): If you love a cheesy twist, add the shredded cheddar cheese to the mixture and stir until evenly distributed.
4. Bake: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
5. Cool and Serve: Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving. This will make it easier to cut and serve.

Helpful Tips

• Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure the sour cream and butter are at room temperature for easier mixing.
• Test for Doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of the casserole. If it comes out clean, the casserole is done.
• Rest Before Serving: Let the casserole sit for about 5-10 minutes after baking to firm up, making it easier to serve.

Substitutions and Variations

• Lighter Version: Substitute the sour cream with Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
• Spicy Kick: Add a can of diced green chilies or jalapeños for a spicy twist.
• Herbs and Spices: Mix in some chopped fresh herbs like parsley or chives for added flavor.
• Different Cheeses: Experiment with different cheeses like pepper jack or mozzarella for a unique flavor profile.
