Time 40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

One 15-ounce can whole corn kernels, drained
One 15-ounce can creamed corn
1 large egg
1 1/2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup sour cream
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Add the whole corn, creamed corn, egg, Cheddar, cornmeal, sour cream, butter, chives, sugar, baking soda, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a generous amount of black pepper to a large bowl and stir until well combined.
Pour the mixture into a 2-quart baking dish and bake until lightly golden on the outside and set in the middle, 30 to 35 minutes.

Tips:

Use fresh or frozen corn kernels for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely before using.
To save time, you can use a bag of frozen cornbread mix instead of making your own cornbread crumbs.
If you don't have sour cream, you can use plain yogurt instead.
To make the casserole extra cheesy, add 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the batter.
Serve the casserole hot with a dollop of sour cream or butter.
