  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh corn kernels (or 1 can 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

For Garnish (Optional)

  • Chopped chives or parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) so it’s ready once your casserole is assembled, ensuring an even bake.
  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 the mixture until everything is evenly distributed and smooth.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until fully blended.
  4. Incorporate Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the casserole light and tender.
  5. Add Eggs: Gently fold in the beaten eggs to incorporate them completely, which will help set the casserole as it bakes.
  6. Transfer to Baking Dish: Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray. Pour the prepared corn mixture into the dish, smoothing the top with a spatula for even baking.
  7. Bake: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. The casserole is done when the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Let the casserole cool for several minutes before slicing. If desired, garnish with chopped chives or parsley for a fresh finish, then cut into squares and serve warm.
