A comforting and easy creamed corn casserole with a cheesy, golden crust that’s perfect for family dinners, potlucks, or holiday meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (14.75 oz / 415 g each) creamed corn
  • 1 can (15 oz / 425 g) whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 ½ cups (170 g) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup (113 g) mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • ½ cup (120 ml) full-fat sour cream
  • 4 tablespoons (57 g) butter, melted
  • ½ cup (60 g) yellow cornmeal
  • ½ cup (60 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons (25 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon (5 g) baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Optional: ½ teaspoon smoked paprika or cayenne pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to reach temperature.
  2. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly blended.
  4. Add melted butter and sour cream to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
  5. Fold in both cans of corn (creamed and whole kernel), maintaining some texture.
  6. Reserve ½ cup shredded cheddar and ¼ cup mozzarella for topping; fold the remaining cheese into the batter.
  7. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
  8. Sprinkle the reserved cheddar and mozzarella evenly over the top.
  9. Bake for 40-45 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  10. If the top browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil after 30 minutes.
  11. Let the casserole rest for about 10 minutes before serving to set and meld flavors.
  12. Optional: If casserole is too wet after baking, broil for 2-3 minutes to crisp the crust.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid a dense texture. Drain whole kernel corn well to prevent sogginess. Use room temperature sour cream and butter for even baking. Tent with foil if top browns too fast. Variations include gluten-free flour substitutions, adding spices for heat, or using dairy-free alternatives for vegan versions.
