Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 15 oz whole kernel corn, drained
  • 15 oz cream style corn, undrained
  • 8.5 oz cornbread mix
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1.5 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (reserve some for topping)
  • 2 large eggs, beate
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped for garnish

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained whole kernel corn and the undrained cream-style corn. Stir until well mixed.
  3. Add the melted butter and sour cream to the corn mixture. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  4. Incorporate the beaten eggs into the bowl, ensuring they are fully integrated.
  5. Slowly fold in the cornbread mix until no large dry clumps remain, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Fold in one cup of the shredded sharp cheddar cheese.
  7. Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
  9. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes. Remove and sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top.
  10. Return to the oven for another 5 to 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  11. Test the center with a toothpick; if it comes out clean, it's ready.
  12. Let it rest for at least 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions.

Notes

For best results, shred your own cheese from a block. Do not overmix the batter after adding the cornbread mix. Ensure melted butter is not too hot when adding eggs.
