Ingredients

Scale

Corn Mixture

  • 1 can (15 oz) whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 can (15 oz) creamed corn

Dairy & Cheese

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Seasoning

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is hot and ready 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 uniformly blended.
  3. Prepare Baking Dish: Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray to prevent the casserole from sticking.
  4. Fill Dish: Pour the corn mixture into the greased baking dish and spread it evenly to promote uniform cooking and browning.
  5. Bake: Place the baking 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 indicating it’s fully cooked.
  6. Serve: Remove from oven and optionally garnish with chopped parsley or green onions. Serve warm as a delicious comfort food side dish.

Notes

  • This casserole can be prepared a day ahead; refrigerate before baking and increase baking time slightly if baking cold.
  • For added texture, sprinkle extra shredded cheddar cheese on top before baking.
  • Substitute garlic powder with onion powder or smoked paprika for a flavor twist.
  • Use a mix of cheeses such as Monterey Jack or mozzarella for a different cheesy profile.
  • To make it Gluten Free, ensure all ingredient labels confirm no gluten-containing additives.
