Corn Casserole

Corn Casserole 
Prep time: 5 mins
Cook time: 1 hour
Total time: 1 hour 5 mins
Author: Stuck on Sweet
Serves: 6

Ingredients:
1 8.5 ounce package cornbread mix (I used Jiffy)
1 cup sour cream (or 1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt for the healthy version)
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted (or less for the healthier version)
1 15 ounce can creamed style corn (do not drain)
1 15 ounce can corn (drained)
2 eggs, beaten (or 3 egg whites for the healthier version)
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
Other optional ingredients
chopped jalapeño
cheddar cheese
green pepper and onion

Instructions:
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 2½ quart baking dish or an 8x8 or 9x9 baking pan.
In a bowl mix together sour cream, corn, creamed corn, melted butter and eggs. Add cornbread mix, salt and pepper and stir.
Pour into greased baking dish and bake for 45-60 minutes until sides are golden and the middle doesn't jiggle when you shake it. It may take an additional 15 minutes if you double the recipe - it all depends on your oven.

Notes:
Recipe can be doubled - bake in a buttered 9x13 inch pan. Recipe can be made 1-2 days ahead - bake, cool completely then cover tightly and put in refrigerator. To re-heat, take casserole out of refrigerator and bring close to room temperature (will re-heat quicker), keep covered and put in a 300 degree oven for about 30 minutes, may take a little longer depending on how hot your oven gets. You can add other ingredients like jalapeño, cheddar cheese or green pepper to spice up the recipe - although these would be great additions, my family enjoys it best without them!
