Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 0.67 cup all-purpose flour adds structure
  • 0.5 cup yellow cornmeal for classic cornbread flavor
  • 0.25 cup white sugar balances the savory flavor
  • 1 tbsp baking powder helps casserole rise
  • 0.25 tsp salt enhances flavor
  • cayenne pepper a pinch, optional for warmth
Wet Ingredients
  • 14 oz creamed corn adds creaminess
  • 14 oz canned corn kernels, undrained for moisture and texture
  • 2 large eggs lightly beaten, for binding
  • 1 stick unsalted butter melted, adds richness
  • 1 cup sour cream adds tang and creaminess
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil keeps the casserole moist

Method
 

  1. Step 1 – Preheat the Oven: Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Lightly grease a 2–2.5 quart (8-cup) casserole dish with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Step 2 – Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cayenne pepper until well combined.
  3. Step 3 – Add the Wet Ingredients: Add creamed corn, canned corn (with liquid), beaten eggs, melted butter, sour cream, and vegetable oil. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  4. Step 4 – Pour into the Dish: Transfer batter to the greased dish, spreading evenly with a spatula.
  5. Step 5 – Bake Until Golden: Bake for 55–60 minutes (50 in a fan-forced oven) until golden brown and just set in the center with a slight jiggle.
  6. Step 6 – Cool and Serve: Let rest 10–15 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Serving: Serve warm topped with butter or chives. Pairs well with turkey, BBQ, or grilled meats.
Storage: Refrigerate up to 4 days or freeze up to 2 months. Reheat at 300°F (150°C) for 10–15 minutes.
Tips: Use half sour cream and half Greek yogurt for a lighter texture. Add cheddar or jalapeños for extra flavor. Use gluten-free flour for a GF version.
