Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 15 ounce can whole kernel corn, drained (or 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen, thawed corn)
- 15 ounce can cream style corn
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup freshly shredded sharp cheddar cheese (or more to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350℉ and grease a 2-quart baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the drained whole kernel corn, cream style corn, sour cream, melted butter, shredded cheddar cheese, and the flour mixture. Stir everything until fully incorporated. For extra cheesiness, feel free to add more cheddar cheese at this stage.
- Bake the Casserole: Pour the combined mixture into the greased baking dish and spread evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
- Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving warm as a delicious side dish.
Notes
- Store leftovers covered tightly in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave or enjoy cold.
- Freeze cooled casserole in an airtight container for up to 6 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat in the microwave before serving.
- Prepare up to 2 days in advance and reheat at 350℉ for 15-20 minutes, or prepare batter up to 24 hours in advance and bake when ready.
- To double the recipe, use a 9×13 casserole dish and add 10 minutes or more to the baking time as needed.
