Ingredients

Scale

For the Corn Casserole

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus more softened butter for greasing the pan
  • 1 (8.5-ounce) package Jiffy corn muffin mix
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup whole milk
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups frozen corn, thawed and drained
  • 1 (15-ounce) can creamed corn
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons sliced chives

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish generously with softened butter to prevent sticking and ensure a crispy, golden edge.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Jiffy corn muffin mix and the combined granulated sugar until just a few lumps remain, which will help incorporate the ingredients without over-mixing.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, and the cooled melted butter until well blended and smooth.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet egg mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the casserole tender.
  5. Add Corn and Seasonings: Fold in the thawed and drained corn kernels, creamed corn, kosher salt, sweet paprika, and freshly ground black pepper. Stir until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Bake the Casserole: Pour the prepared corn mixture into the greased baking dish. Place in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the casserole is set in the center and the top turns a beautiful golden brown.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven and sprinkle the sliced chives evenly over the top. Let the casserole cool slightly for a few minutes to allow it to set before serving for best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • You can substitute sweet paprika with smoked paprika for a subtle smoky flavor.
  • Make sure to thaw and drain the frozen corn well to prevent excess moisture in the casserole.
  • This casserole pairs wonderfully with roasted meats or as part of a holiday feast.
  • For a spicy kick, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or diced jalapeños.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and gently reheated.
