Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (8.5 oz) Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 can (15 oz) whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 can (15 oz) cream-style corn
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped jalapeños (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Soften the cream cheese by letting it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes or microwaving in 10-second bursts until soft.
  3. Melt 1/2 cup unsalted butter and let it cool for a couple of minutes.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and melted butter. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
  5. Add the eggs, sugar, salt, and pepper. Whisk until fully incorporated and smooth.
  6. Stir in the drained whole kernel corn and cream-style corn until evenly distributed.
  7. Sprinkle the Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix over the wet ingredients. Gently fold with a rubber spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  9. Bake for 45-50 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the edges are set. The center should have a slight jiggle.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool on a cooling rack for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Room temperature ingredients are key for smooth blending. Do not overmix the batter to keep the casserole tender. Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving to set properly. For a double batch, use an 11×15 dish and add 10 minutes to the baking time.
