Ingredients

Scale

Corn Mixture

  • 1 (15 ounce) can creamed corn
  • 1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained

Batter

  • 1 (8 ounce) package corn muffin mix (such as Jiffy)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking dish thoroughly with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
  2. Combine Corn: In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamed corn (undrained) and drained whole kernel corn. This mix provides a delightful combination of creamy and textured corn in the casserole.
  3. Add Corn Muffin Mix: Stir in the corn muffin mix, making sure to use a regular corn muffin mix (not sweet cornbread mix) to maintain the classic cornbread flavor that complements the honey’s sweetness.
  4. Add Sour Cream: Mix in the sour cream, adding richness, moisture, and a slight tang which keeps the casserole tender.
  5. Incorporate Melted Butter: Pour in the melted butter once cooled slightly to avoid cooking the egg. The butter enhances flavor and helps bind ingredients.
  6. Mix in Honey: Drizzle honey into the batter, providing the signature sweet glaze and deep flavor. Opt for a high-quality honey for the best taste.
  7. Add Beaten Egg and Seasonings: Add the beaten egg to act as a binder, then season with salt and black pepper to enhance overall flavor. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  8. Combine Ingredients: Stir all ingredients gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent a tough texture; small lumps are acceptable.
  9. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the batter into the greased baking dish and spread evenly to ensure uniform baking.
  10. Bake: Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If the top browns too quickly, tent with foil to prevent burning.
  11. Cool Before Serving: Remove from oven and allow the casserole to cool for 10-15 minutes. Letting it set makes it easier to slice and serve.
  12. Serve Warm: Slice and serve the casserole warm for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • For a cheesy variation, stir in 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese into the batter.
  • Add chopped jalapeños (1-2 tablespoons) for a spicy kick.
  • Incorporate 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon to add smoky flavor.
  • Experiment with different types of corn like white or sweet corn for varied taste.
  • This casserole can be prepared ahead of time; store covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking.
  • To freeze, cool completely, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil, and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
  • Reheat leftovers in the microwave or oven at 350°F (175°C) covered with foil until heated through.
