A warm, comforting casserole combining sweet corn with a creamy, cheesy sauce, perfect for cozy family dinners and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels (thawed)
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup shredded sharp or extra sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons chopped green chilies or diced bell pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Blend with an electric mixer or whisk until smooth and lump-free, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the creamy base, folding gently with a spatula until fully incorporated. The batter should be thick but pourable.
  6. Fold in corn kernels and shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses. If using, fold in optional green chilies or bell peppers.
  7. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake for 45-50 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving to firm up and make slicing easier.

Notes

Use full-fat dairy and freshly shredded cheese for best melt and flavor. Soften cream cheese before mixing to avoid lumps. Tent with foil if top browns too quickly. Avoid overmixing to prevent cracks or dense texture. Let rest before slicing for best results. For gluten-free, substitute flour with gluten-free blend and ensure cornmeal is gluten-free.
