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 Oven: Preheat your oven to 350℉ and grease a 2-quart baking dish 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 Ingredients and Dry Mix: In a large bowl, combine the drained whole kernel corn, cream style corn, sour cream, melted butter, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and the dry flour mixture. Stir everything together until just combined. For extra cheesiness, add more cheddar to your liking.
- Bake the Casserole: Spread the batter evenly into your prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Store leftovers covered tightly in the refrigerator for 3-4 days; reheat in the microwave or enjoy cold.
- For freezer storage, cool completely, place in an airtight container, and freeze up to 6 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat before serving.
- This casserole can be made ahead: bake up to 2 days early and reheat at 350℉ for 15-20 minutes, or prepare the batter 24 hours in advance and bake as directed.
- Double the recipe and bake in a 9×13-inch casserole dish; increase baking time by 10 minutes or until set.
