  • 1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can cream-style corn, undrained
  • 1 (8.5 ounce) package corn muffin mix (like Jiffy)

  6. Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  7. Sprinkle an extra 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.
  8. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
  9. Let the casserole cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a slow cooker version, mix all ingredients as directed, pour into a lightly greased 4-quart slow cooker, and cook on LOW for 3 to 4 hours or on HIGH for 1.5 to 2 hours.
  • You can substitute frozen or fresh corn for canned corn; thaw frozen corn first.
  • This casserole pairs well with ham, roast chicken, or turkey.
