When it comes to comfort food, few dishes evoke the warmth and nostalgia of a Cream Cheese Corn Casserole. This delightful dish brings together the sweetness of corn and the rich creaminess of cream cheese, creating a baked masterpiece that's perfect for any gathering.
Ingredients
Scale:
1 cup cornmeal
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 can (15 oz) creamed corn
1 can (15 oz) whole kernel corn, drained
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup melted butter
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Optional: chopped green onions or parsley for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until well mixed, ensuring there are no lumps.
In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the creamed corn, whole kernel corn, sour cream, milk, and melted butter. Mix until well incorporated.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry mixture, stirring until just combined.
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
Pour the corn mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top. Return to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before garnishing with chopped green onions or parsley. Serve warm.
