Ingredients
Scale
1 box (8.5 oz) Jiffy corn muffin mix
1 can (15 oz) whole kernel corn, drained
1 can (15 oz) creamed corn
8 oz cream cheese, softened and cubed
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
2 large eggs
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup crushed Ritz crackers (for topping)
2 tablespoons butter, melted (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9×9 inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine the corn muffin mix, whole kernel corn, creamed corn, softened cream cheese, sour cream, and eggs. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the crushed Ritz crackers. Sprinkle this buttery topping evenly over the corn mixture.
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the center is set and the topping is golden brown.
Let the casserole cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
For a slightly spicier flavor, add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the batter mix.
If you skip the Ritz cracker topping, brush the top with the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter before baking for a golden crust.
This casserole pairs well with roasted meats or grilled chicken for a family gathering side dish.
