  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional)
  • 2-3 tablespoons chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

  • First, preheat your oven to 350°F and grease an 8x8 or 9x9 inch baking dish.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the 2 large eggs, then stir in the melted butter and sour cream.
  • Next, gently mix in the drained whole kernel corn and the can of creamed corn.
  • Now, add the box of Jiffy mix and the sugar, and stir until just combined.
  • Then, pour the batter into your greased baking dish and spread it out evenly.
  • Finally, bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set. If you like, sprinkle some fresh parsley on top before serving.

Notes

  • Let the casserole cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
  • For extra flavor, you can add one cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
  • Store any leftovers you have in a covered dish in the fridge.
  • This casserole is meant to be soft and pudding-like in the center.
  • Do not overmix the batter after you add the corn muffin mix.
  • This dish tastes great when you serve it warm from the oven.
