A creamy, cheesy corn casserole perfect for Thanksgiving or any cozy meal, combining sweet corn with a smooth, indulgent texture that’s easy to prepare and loved by all ages.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (15 oz / 425 g) canned whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 can (14.75 oz / 418 g) creamed corn
  • 1 cup (240 ml) sour cream, full-fat preferred (Greek yogurt can be a substitute)
  • 1/2 cup (115 g) butter, melted
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, adjust to taste
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup (120 g) yellow cornmeal
  • 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour (can substitute gluten-free flour blend)
  • 1 cup (115 g) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: chopped green onions or chives for garnish
  • Optional: jalapeño or mild chili flakes for heat

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter a 9×13-inch baking dish lightly to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained whole kernel corn and creamed corn. Stir gently to mix without crushing the kernels.
  3. Add the sour cream, melted butter, and granulated sugar to the corn mixture. Stir until evenly combined.
  4. Whisk the eggs in a separate small bowl. Slowly pour the beaten eggs into the corn mixture while stirring constantly to create a smooth custard base.
  5. In another bowl, mix the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add this dry mix into the wet ingredients, folding gently to avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese last to distribute evenly.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly with a spatula.
  8. Bake uncovered for 45 to 50 minutes until golden on top and set in the center. Check doneness with a toothpick; it should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Let the casserole cool for 10 minutes before serving to firm up and make slicing easier.

Notes

Drain whole kernel corn well to avoid watery casserole. Fold dry ingredients gently to keep a light texture. Use freshly shredded cheese for best melting. Bring eggs and sour cream to room temperature before mixing. Tent with foil if top browns too quickly. Let casserole rest before slicing.
