Description

Paula Deen's Corn Casserole is a creamy, cheesy, and comforting side dish made with creamed corn, whole kernel sweet corn, Jiffy corn muffin mix, sour cream, and butter. Baked to golden perfection and topped with melted cheddar cheese, this casserole is perfect for family dinners or holiday gatherings. It can be conveniently cooked in the oven or slow cooker, resulting in a rich and hearty texture that complements a variety of main courses.

Ingredients

Primary Ingredients

  • 14.75 oz. creamed corn
  • 15.25 oz. whole kernel sweet corn, drained
  • 8.5 oz. Jiffy corn muffin mix
  • 8 oz. sour cream
  • 1 stick butter (melted, 8 tablespoons)

Topping

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the casserole.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, thoroughly mix together the creamed corn, drained whole kernel sweet corn, Jiffy corn muffin mix, sour cream, and melted butter, ensuring even distribution of all components.
  3. Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a 9 x 13-inch casserole dish or a 10-inch cast iron skillet to prevent sticking, then pour the corn mixture evenly into it.
  4. Bake Initial Layer: Place the casserole dish in the oven and bake uncovered for 45 minutes, allowing the mixture to set and edges to slightly brown.
  5. Add Cheese Topping: Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
  6. Bake Until Golden: Return the casserole to the oven and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the top browns lightly.
  7. Rest: Remove from oven and let the casserole stand for 5 minutes before serving to allow it to firm up and enhance flavors.
  8. Slow Cooker Option Prep: Alternatively, combine all ingredients except cheddar in a large bowl, then transfer to a lightly greased Crock Pot.
  9. Slow Cook: Cook on high for 2 to 3 hours or on low for 4 hours, checking periodically to ensure the casserole sets evenly.
  10. Add Cheese in Slow Cooker: During the last 20 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top and allow it to melt.
  11. Check for Doneness: Ensure the center is firm and set before serving to confirm the casserole is fully cooked.
  12. Serving Suggestion: Let the casserole cool briefly before serving. Consider trying Paula Deen's Chili Cornbread Casserole recipe next for a complementary dish.

Notes

  • Be sure to drain the whole kernel corn thoroughly to avoid excess moisture in the casserole.
  • You can use either a casserole dish or a cast iron skillet for baking; both yield excellent results.
  • Letting the casserole stand after baking helps it set and makes it easier to serve.
  • If using the Crock Pot method, avoid lifting the lid frequently to maintain consistent cooking temperature.
  • This recipe serves 6 and pairs well with meats like fried chicken, smoked pork, or barbecue.
