Description

This cozy, cheesy cream cheese corn casserole is everything you want in a comforting side dish. Loaded with creamy richness, sweet corn, and a crunchy topping, it’s a potluck favorite that’ll win everyone over.

Ingredients

Scale

2 (15 oz) cans sweet corn, drained (or substitute with frozen corn)
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup cornbread mix
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup crushed corn flakes (or crushed crackers for variation)
1/4 cup melted butter

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth. A hand mixer helps speed this up.
Fold in drained corn, cheddar cheese, cornbread mix, green onions, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until fully combined.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
In another bowl, toss crushed corn flakes with melted butter. Evenly sprinkle over the casserole.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden and the edges are bubbly.

Notes

To add more texture, toss in diced bell peppers or jalapeños. Make-ahead friendly: prep and refrigerate overnight, then bake when needed. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
