Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 (14.75 ounce) can cream style corn
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened and cubed
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the drained whole kernel corn and the cream style corn.
  3. Add the softened cream cheese cubes, sour cream, milk, flour, sugar, salt, and pepper to the corn mixture.
  4. Use an electric mixer on medium speed or a sturdy whisk to beat the ingredients until they are just combined and smooth. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish.
  6. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top of the batter.
  7. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the butter layer.
  8. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the casserole is set in the center and the top is golden brown.
  9. Let the cheesy corn bake rest for 5 to 10 minutes before you serve it.

Notes

  • For a make ahead side dish, you can assemble the casserole completely, cover it, and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. Add about 10 to 15 minutes to the baking time if baking directly from the refrigerator.
  • If you prefer a slow cooker corn casserole, mix all ingredients except the cheddar topping. Cook on low for 3 to 4 hours. Stir in the cheddar cheese during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
  • This recipe is a kid friendly side dish; adding a pinch of cayenne pepper can give adults a slight kick without affecting the main flavor profile.
