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.
