2 cans (15 oz each) whole kernel corn, drained
1 can (15 oz) creamed corn
8 oz cream cheese, softened and cubed
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

Optional Toppings

Extra shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Mix Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, melted butter, and sour cream until smooth. Stir in the cream cheese until mostly incorporated.
Add Corn and Seasonings
Mix in the whole kernel corn, creamed corn, salt, pepper, and optional garlic powder.
Fold in Muffin Mix and Cheese
Gently fold in the corn muffin mix and shredded cheddar. Do not overmix.
Transfer and Bake
Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish. Bake for 45–50 minutes or until golden brown and set in the center.
Optional Toppings and Serve
Sprinkle extra cheese or fresh herbs on top, let it sit for 5–10 minutes, then serve warm.

Notes

To make it ahead, prep and store the unbaked casserole in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Bake just before serving. Leftovers reheat beautifully in the microwave or oven. You can also add diced jalapeños or crumbled bacon for extra flavor.
