Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or casserole dish.

Step 2: Combine the Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained whole kernel corn, cream-style corn, and corn muffin mix.
Stir in the melted butter and sour cream until the mixture is well combined.

Step 3: Add the Cheese

Fold ¾ cup of the shredded cheddar cheese into the corn mixture for an extra creamy flavor.
Reserve the remaining ¼ cup of cheese for the topping.

Step 4: Assemble the Casserole

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle the reserved ¼ cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top to create a golden crust.

Step 5: Bake the Casserole

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center—it should come out clean.

Step 6: Cool and Serve

Let the casserole cool for 5–10 minutes after removing it from the oven.
Slice and serve warm as a comforting side dish.
