Make this rich, creamy, and cheesy corn casserole using cream cheese and a buttery cracker topping. It is a simple, comforting side dish perfect for holidays or weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (8.5 oz) 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 sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup crushed buttery crackers (like Ritz)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the corn muffin mix, drained whole kernel corn, creamed corn, softened cream cheese, sour cream, half of the shredded cheddar cheese (1/2 cup), and eggs. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  3. Pour the corn mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and the crushed buttery crackers. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the casserole batter.
  5. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the center is set and the topping is golden brown.
  6. Remove the casserole from the oven. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese over the hot topping and let it sit for 5 minutes to melt before serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use sharp cheddar cheese.
  • You can prepare the batter the night before, cover it, and refrigerate. Add the topping just before baking the next day.
  • This casserole pairs well with roasted chicken or holiday ham.
