Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 can whole kernel corn, drained
- 1 can cream-style corn
- 1 box corn muffin mix (8.5 oz)
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ cup melted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tbsp honey (divided)
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the corn muffin mix, whole kernel corn (drained), cream-style corn, sour cream, melted butter, eggs, salt, and 2 tablespoons of honey. Stir well until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- Pour and Bake: Pour the prepared batter into the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the casserole is golden brown on top and set in the center.
- Honey Glaze Finish: During the last 5 minutes of baking, remove the casserole briefly and drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of honey evenly over the top. Return it to the oven to finish baking and allow the honey to form a shiny glaze.
- Rest Before Serving: Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes. This rest time helps it set further and makes serving easier.
Notes
- Use fresh eggs at room temperature for better mixing.
- Melt butter completely but do not let it cool too much before adding to the mixture.
- For a variation, sprinkle some shredded cheddar cheese on top before the last 5 minutes of baking.
- This casserole pairs well with savory main dishes like roasted chicken or ham.
- Make sure the casserole is fully set before removing from the oven to avoid a runny texture.
- Letting the dish rest after baking improves sliceability and flavor melding.
