Easy Corn Casserole

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven
   • Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or an equivalent casserole dish to prevent sticking.
2. Mix the Ingredients
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole kernel corn, creamed corn, sour cream, melted butter, and Jiffy cornbread mix. Stir until fully incorporated.
   • If using cheese or jalapeños, fold them in gently.
3. Bake the Casserole
   • Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it evenly.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
4. Cool and Serve
   • Allow the casserole to cool for about 5 minutes before serving. This helps it firm up and makes slicing easier.

Tips for Success:

• Add a Sweet Touch: Sprinkle a bit of sugar or honey into the batter if you prefer a sweeter casserole.
• Spice It Up: For a kick of heat, add a teaspoon of chili powder or cayenne pepper to the mixture.
• Make It Cheesy: A layer of cheese on top during the last 10 minutes of baking can create a gooey, irresistible crust.

Serving Suggestions:

Easy corn casserole pairs wonderfully with roasted turkey, glazed ham, or barbecue dishes. It’s also a fantastic standalone dish for potlucks or picnics.
