Ingredients

Scale

Corn and Dairy Mixture

  • 1 (15.25 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 (14.75 ounce) can cream style corn
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup honey, plus extra for garnish
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/3 cup chopped red bell pepper
  • 2 large eggs, beaten

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven temperature to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) and grease a baking dish with butter or nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine the wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, stir together the drained whole kernel corn, cream style corn, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, honey, melted butter, and chopped red bell pepper until everything is well blended.
  3. Prepare the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the yellow cornmeal, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and freshly ground black pepper until evenly combined.
  4. Mix dry and wet ingredients: Gradually add the cornmeal mixture to the corn mixture, stirring continuously to incorporate the two. Then gently fold in the beaten eggs, mixing just until the batter forms evenly without overworking it.
  5. Bake the casserole: Pour the batter into the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the top turns a golden brown and the casserole is set.
  6. Cool and garnish: Let the casserole cool for about 5 minutes after removing it from the oven. Optionally, drizzle additional honey on top for extra sweetness and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen corn if canned is unavailable, adjusting moisture accordingly.
  • For a spicier twist, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeño to the wet mixture.
  • The casserole can be prepared a day ahead and reheated in the oven at 325°F until warmed through.
  • Adding chopped green onions or a sprinkle of smoked paprika on top before baking can enhance flavor.
  • To make it dairy-free, substitute sour cream with a plant-based alternative and use vegan cheese.
