Tips for this Corn Casserole Recipe

If you don't have creamed corn on hand, just drain most of the liquid out of a can of sweet corn and toss the corn and remaining liquid into your blender, then blend until fairly smooth but with some pieces of corn still visible.

If you need to make your own creamed corn, try draining all the liquid from the can of corn and add ½ cup of milk to the blender along with the drained corn. It will add a nice dimension to the dish!

Instead of assembling the dry ingredients, you can make this corn casserole with Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix, use it in their place.

The baking time will vary depending on the type of pan you use. I use an 8x8 glass baking dish, and it takes about 55 minutes. If you use a 9x13, it won't take as long because the corn casserole is spread out thinner.

Baking in a glass baking dish will take longer than using a metal baking dish, since glass doesn't conduct the heat as well as metal does.

Just test the middle with a toothpick - you'll know it's done when it comes out clean, except for maybe the shredded cheddar from the topping.

Ingredients

⅔ cup all purpose flour
½ cup yellow corn meal
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
15 ounces canned sweet corn drained
15 ounces canned creamed corn
1 cup sour cream
½ cup butter melted
6 slices cooked crispy bacon crumbled
⅔ cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients and mix them well with a wire whisk. As an alternative to the dry ingredients, use an 8½ ounce box of Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix.
Add the two corns, sour cream and butter to the dry ingredients and mix until well-incorporated.
Lightly grease a baking pan or casserole and pour in the ingredients.
Begin baking the casserole.
While the casserole is baking, fry the bacon until crisp. Cool slightly and crumble, set a side.
After about 25-30 minutes, remove the casserole from the oven and top it with the shredded cheese and crumbled bacon. Return it to the oven to finish baking. Baking time with depend on the depth and type of the pan you use. I used an 8x8 metal pan, which took 55 minutes at 350°.
