Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 row Ritz crackers (approximately 12 crackers)
  • 3 cans corn kernels (15 oz each, drained)
  • 1 can cream corn (15 oz)
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 box Jiffy corn muffin mix (about 8.5 oz)
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded (divided as 3/4 cup and 1/4 cup)

Instructions

  1. Drain Corn: Thoroughly drain the 3 cans of corn kernels to remove excess liquid, ensuring the casserole will not be too watery.
  2. Mix Ingredients: Crush the row of Ritz crackers into small pieces and add to a large mixing bowl. Add the drained corn kernels, cream corn, milk, eggs, Jiffy corn muffin mix, and 3/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Stir everything together until the mixture is well combined.
  3. Prepare Baking Dish: Lightly spray a 9×12 inch baking pan with non-stick spray for easy release of the casserole after baking.
  4. Transfer Mixture: Spoon the corn mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out smoothly.
  5. Add Butter: Cut the 1/4 cup of butter into 4 equal pieces. Gently press these pieces slightly into the top edges of the casserole to allow melting throughout as it bakes.
  6. Add Topping Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole for a cheesy crust.
  7. Bake: Place the casserole in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for about 35 minutes. Bake until the edges are browned and the center is set but still a bit soft. Avoid overbaking to maintain a moist, creamy texture.
  8. Serve: Remove from oven and serve warm. This casserole is delicious fresh and reheats well for leftovers.

Notes

  • Do not overcook to avoid a dry texture; aiming for a slightly soft center keeps the casserole creamy.
  • Using Ritz crackers adds a subtle buttery flavor and slight crunch.
  • Jiffy corn muffin mix provides sweetness and helps bind the casserole.
  • Serve as a side dish with meats, especially for holiday meals like Thanksgiving or potlucks.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
