Cornbread Casserole Ingredients
- 1 box cornbread mix (approximately 8.5 oz)
- 1 can (15 oz) whole kernel corn, drained
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the proper baking temperature while you prepare the mixture.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cornbread mix, drained corn, melted butter, and eggs. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated, forming a smooth batter.
- Pour into Baking Dish: Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish lightly with butter or non-stick spray. Pour the batter evenly into the dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and allow the casserole to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This helps the cornbread set and enhances the texture.
Notes
- For a creamier texture, consider adding a small can (8.5 oz) of creamed corn along with the whole kernel corn.
- Adding shredded cheddar cheese or chopped jalapeños can give a flavorful twist.
- Use fresh or frozen corn if canned is not available, just be sure to adjust moisture levels accordingly.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
