Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 cans corn (15 oz. each, kernels, drained)
  • 1 can cream corn (15 oz.)
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 box Jiffy corn muffin mix
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese (divided: 3/4 cup and 1/4 cup)

Additional Ingredient

  • 1 row Ritz crackers (crushed)

Instructions

  1. Drain Corn: Thoroughly drain the liquid from the 3 cans of corn kernels to avoid excess moisture in the casserole.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, crush the Ritz crackers until finely broken. Add the drained corn kernels, cream corn, milk, eggs, Jiffy corn muffin mix, and 3/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Mix all ingredients well until fully combined.
  3. Prepare Baking Dish: Lightly spray a 9×12 inch baking pan with non-stick spray. Then, spoon the corn mixture evenly into the pan, spreading it gently.
  4. Add Butter: Cut the 1/4 cup butter into 4 equal pieces. Press these pieces slightly into the casserole near the edges; this will add flavor and moisture during baking.
  5. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of grated cheddar cheese on top of the casserole to create a cheesy crust.
  6. Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the casserole for about 35 minutes. The edges should be browned, and the center should be slightly firm but still soft to ensure a moist texture.
  7. Serve and Store: Avoid overbaking to prevent dryness. Serve the casserole warm. It also reheats well, making it a great option for leftovers.

Notes

  • Do not overcook this casserole to maintain a moist, tender texture.
  • Use freshly crushed Ritz crackers for a better texture.
  • Feel free to substitute cheddar cheese with other types like Monterey Jack or Colby for variation.
  • This dish pairs well with roasted meats and green vegetable sides.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven or microwave.
