Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (8.5 oz) Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
  • 1 can (15 oz) whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 can (15 oz) cream-style corn
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped jalapeños (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Soften the cream cheese by letting it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes, or microwave in 10-second bursts until soft but not melted.
  3. Melt the butter in a small microwave-safe bowl and let it cool for a minute.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, melted butter, and lightly beaten eggs. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  5. Add the drained whole kernel corn and cream-style corn. Stir until evenly distributed.
  6. Sprinkle in the Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix, sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly with a rubber spatula.
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling. The center should be set but slightly jiggly.
  9. Let the casserole rest in the dish for at least 10 minutes before serving.
  10. Serve warm.

Notes

Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes after baking to set properly. For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free corn muffin mix. For dairy-free, use vegan butter and dairy-free cream cheese. You can assemble the casserole up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerate; add 10 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
