Main Ingredients

  • 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
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • Chopped chives or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is at the right temperature for baking the casserole evenly.
  2. Prepare the Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh corn kernels (or canned corn), creamed corn, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, honey, and melted butter. Stir well until the mixture is evenly blended.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to ensure these dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
  4. Incorporate Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined to keep the batter light and avoid overmixing.
  5. Add Eggs: Fold in the beaten eggs gently into the batter, making sure they are well incorporated without overworking the mixture.
  6. Transfer to Baking Dish: Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter. Pour the prepared corn casserole mixture into the dish and spread it evenly to ensure uniform baking.
  7. Bake the Casserole: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, indicating the casserole is cooked through.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving. Optionally, garnish with chopped chives or parsley for added color and flavor. Cut into squares and enjoy the sweet and savory casserole.

Notes

  • Using fresh corn kernels will provide a brighter, fresher flavor, but canned corn is a convenient alternative.
  • Do not overmix the batter as it may result in a dense casserole; fold gently to maintain a light texture.
  • You can substitute cheddar cheese with a mild or sharp cheese of your preference.
  • If you prefer less sweetness, reduce the honey amount slightly.
  • For a gluten-free version, ensure the cornmeal and baking powder are certified gluten-free.
  • Leftover casserole can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven or microwave.
