🥣 How to Make
STEP ONE: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. In a large bowl, combine the sour cream, whole kernel corn, cream-style corn, cornbread mix, and melted butter.
STEP 2: Stir until the mixture is well combined. Ensure you complete this step thoroughly before proceeding to the next step in the process.
STEP THREE: Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
STEP FOUR: Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. Let the casserole cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
⭐ Pro Tips ⭐
- Don't overbake! Remove once the center is just set to keep it creamy. Let it rest for a few minutes so it slices cleanly.
- Use room-temperature sour cream for a smoother mixing experience.
- Cover loosely with foil if the top browns too quickly. This helps you stop it from being overly toasted.
- Need a recipe for a get-together? Double the recipe for large gatherings, as it tends to go quickly!
