Ingredients

1 can whole kernel corn, drained
1 can cream-style corn
1 box corn muffin mix (8.5 oz)
1 cup sour cream
½ cup melted butter
2 large eggs
3 tbsp honey (divided)
½ tsp salt

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the corn muffin mix, whole kernel corn, cream-style corn, sour cream, melted butter, eggs, salt, and 2 tablespoons of honey. Mix until everything is well incorporated.
Step 3: Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Step 4: Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the casserole is golden brown and set in the center.
Step 5: During the last 5 minutes of baking, drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of honey over the top of the casserole to add a glossy glaze.
Step 6: Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving, allowing it to firm up for easy slicing.

Tips & Variations

For a richer flavor, substitute half of the sour cream with Greek yogurt.
Add 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese to the batter for a cheesy twist.
If you prefer a spicier version, stir in a small pinch of cayenne pepper or a few diced jalapeños.
Use fresh corn kernels when in season for an even sweeter, fresher taste.

Storage

Store leftover corn casserole in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave until warmed through, or place the casserole back in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 15 minutes, covered with foil to prevent drying out.

Main Ingredients

1 can whole kernel corn, drained
1 can cream-style corn
1 box corn muffin mix (8.5 oz)
1 cup sour cream
½ cup melted butter
2 large eggs
3 tbsp honey (divided)
½ tsp salt

Instructions

Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to ensure the casserole doesn’t stick.
Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn muffin mix, whole kernel corn, cream-style corn, sour cream, melted butter, eggs, salt, and 2 tablespoons of the honey. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated into a uniform batter.
Pour and Bake: Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Place it in the oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set (a toothpick inserted in the center should come out mostly clean).
Honey Glaze: In the last 5 minutes of baking, remove the casserole briefly and drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of honey evenly over the top. Return the casserole to the oven to finish baking, allowing the honey to create a glossy, sweet glaze.
Rest and Serve: Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes. This resting time helps the casserole firm up slightly and enhances the flavors before serving.

Notes

For extra richness, consider using unsalted butter to better control salt levels.
To enhance香味, add a pinch of ground nutmeg or cinnamon to the mixture if desired.
Make sure to use fresh eggs for the best texture and rise.
This casserole pairs beautifully with savory dishes like roast chicken, turkey, or barbecue ribs.
Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and gently reheated in the oven.
