Ingredients

Scale

For the Casserole

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus more softened butter for greasing pan
  • 1 (8.5-ounce) package Jiffy corn muffin mix
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup whole milk
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups frozen corn, thawed and drained
  • 1 (15-ounce) can creamed corn
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons sliced chives, for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Grease a 2-quart baking dish generously with softened butter to prevent sticking and ensure a golden crust.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the Jiffy corn muffin mix and granulated sugar until a few lumps remain—this keeps the texture light and fluffy.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl or large measuring cup, whisk the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, and melted butter until well combined to create a smooth, rich mixture.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the batter light.
  5. Add Corn and Seasonings: Fold in the thawed and drained frozen corn, creamed corn, kosher salt, sweet paprika, and freshly ground black pepper, ensuring even distribution.
  6. Pour and Bake: Transfer the corn casserole batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the top turns a beautiful golden brown.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven, sprinkle sliced chives on top for a fresh, mild onion flavor, and allow the casserole to cool slightly before serving to enhance flavors and ease slicing.

Notes

  • Use frozen corn thawed and well-drained to avoid excess moisture in the casserole.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the texture light and fluffy.
  • Let the casserole cool slightly before serving to help it set and slice neatly.
  • For a spicy twist, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or diced jalapeños.
  • This casserole can be prepared a few hours in advance and baked just before serving.
