Ingredients

Scale

Corn Mixture

  • 2 cups fresh corn kernels (or 1 can of corn, drained)
  • 1 cup creamed corn
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs, beaten

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Garnish

  • Chopped chives or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the casserole evenly.
  2. Prepare the Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh corn kernels, creamed corn, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, honey, and melted butter. Stir these ingredients well until the mixture is uniform and creamy.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning agents.
  4. Incorporate Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently just until combined. Take care not to overmix to keep the casserole tender and light.
  5. Add Eggs: Fold the beaten eggs into the combined batter carefully to fully incorporate them, which helps bind the casserole as it bakes.
  6. Transfer to Baking Dish: Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking. Pour the prepared batter evenly into the dish and level the top for uniform baking.
  7. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. Look for a golden brown top and insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean when done.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes after baking. Optionally, sprinkle with chopped chives or parsley for a fresh finish. Cut into squares and serve warm to enjoy the blend of sweet and savory flavors.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, substitute sour cream and cheddar cheese with plant-based alternatives.
  • Using fresh corn kernels will yield the best flavor, but canned corn works well as a convenient substitute.
  • Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep the casserole light and fluffy.
  • Garnishing is optional but adds a nice color contrast and fresh taste.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
