How to Make Cream Cheese Corn Casserole

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your 9×13-inch baking dish.

Step 2: Mix the Creamy Base

In a large bowl, combine melted butter, cream cheese, and sour cream. Whisk or beat until smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Add the Corn and Eggs

Stir in both cans of corn and mix well. Add the eggs and stir until combined.

Step 4: Add the Dry Mix

Fold in the corn muffin mix, salt, and pepper. The batter will be thick and creamy.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

Pour into the prepared dish and bake for 45–50 minutes, or until golden brown and set in the center. The edges will be slightly crispy — that’s the best part!

Step 6: Optional Topping

Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the top during the last 10 minutes of baking for an ooey-gooey finish.
