Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 oz) whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 can (15 oz) creamed corn
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the casserole.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained whole kernel corn, creamed corn, melted butter, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and garlic powder. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly blended.
  3. Prepare Baking Dish: Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  4. Pour and Spread: Pour the corn mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly to ensure even cooking and browning.
  5. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
  6. Serve: Remove from oven and optionally garnish with chopped parsley or green onions. Serve warm as a delicious side dish.

Notes

  • Use softened cream cheese for easier mixing and a smoother texture.
  • For a spicier variation, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeños.
  • You can substitute cheddar cheese with Monterey Jack or a cheese blend if preferred.
  • This casserole can be prepared ahead and refrigerated before baking; just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
  • Leftovers store well covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
