1. Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9 or similar-sized baking dish.
2. Mix the Ingredients
In a large bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese and melted butter until smooth. Stir in the corn, cream-style corn, sour cream, egg, and muffin mix. Add garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
Mix everything until well combined and pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish.
3. Bake Until Golden
Bake uncovered for 45–50 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is slightly golden. If you want to add shredded cheese, sprinkle it on in the last 10 minutes of baking.
4. Cool Slightly and Serve
Let it sit for 5–10 minutes before serving so it sets just enough to scoop beautifully.
Variations & Add-Ins
- Add a kick – Stir in a chopped jalapeño or a pinch of cayenne.
- Make it meaty – Crumbled cooked bacon or sausage adds a savory edge.
- Go cheesy – Add more cheese to the mix or on top for ultra-cheesiness.
- Fresh twist – Add chopped green onions or fresh herbs like thyme or chives.
Pro Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients – They mix more smoothly and bake evenly.
- Double the batch – This casserole disappears fast. Make two if you’re feeding a crowd.
- Freezer-friendly – Cool it completely, then freeze in an airtight container. Reheat gently in the oven.
