  • Salt: ½ teaspoon
  • Corn muffin mix: 1 (8.5 oz) box (like Jiffy)
  • Creamed corn: 1 (15 oz) can

INSTRUCTIONS
Step 2:
Mix everything else—melted butter, sugar, milk, and those eggs—right into that bowl and keep stirring until it’s all blended up.
Step 1:
Get your oven cranked up to 350°F (that’s about 175°C) and grease a big 9×13 baking dish to keep things from sticking.
Serving and Storage Tips
  • Warm up leftovers in the microwave or oven whenever hunger hits. They’ll keep fine, covered tight in the fridge, for up to 3 days.
  • Chop up some chives or parsley and toss on top after baking for fresh color and flavor.
Helpful Notes
  • If you like spicy, add diced jalapeños or just a pinch of cayenne for some heat.

Tips from Famous Chefs

  • Chef Mia says to grate your own cheddar—it melts so much better than the bagged stuff.
What Makes Cream Cheese So Perfect Here

Cream cheese is the star that makes this casserole super rich and silky. It blends with corn and the muffin mix, giving you fun flavors and the softest texture. It’s a real upgrade from regular corn bakes.

How to Keep It from Getting Overdone

Check on it by about 45 minutes in. Look for a golden top and a center that’s just set—not totally hard. It’ll finish soft and dreamy, not dried out. Watch those last few minutes.

FAQs

Is it okay to prep this ahead?

For sure—you can put it all together the night before and stash it in your fridge. Let it warm to room temp before baking so it cooks evenly.

Got nothing for a corn muffin mix?

No worries. Stir up some cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and a hint of sugar—about a cup total—and use that instead.
