Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (8.5 oz) Jiffy corn muffin mix
  • 1 can (15 oz) whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 can (15 oz) creamed corn
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened and cubed
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (for batter)
  • 1 cup crushed Ritz crackers
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the Jiffy corn muffin mix, drained whole kernel corn, creamed corn, softened cream cheese cubes, cheddar cheese, sour cream, eggs, and the 1/4 cup of melted butter. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  3. Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish.
  4. In a small bowl, mix the crushed Ritz crackers with the remaining 4 tablespoons of melted butter until coated. Sprinkle this buttery corn casserole topping evenly over the batter.
  5. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the edges are set and the topping is golden brown.
  6. Let the cheesy corn bake rest for 5 to 10 minutes before you serve it.

Notes

  • For a slow cooker corn casserole version, mix all ingredients except the topping and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours. Add the topping for the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • You can substitute the Ritz cracker topping with 1/2 cup of crispy fried onions for a different texture.
  • This recipe makes an excellent Thanksgiving side dish or potluck favorite.
