Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 2 cans (15 oz each) whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 can (15 oz) creamed corn
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened and cubed
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Toppings and Garnish

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional for topping)
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Dish. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
  2. Mix Ingredients. In a large bowl, combine the drained whole kernel corn, creamed corn, softened and cubed cream cheese, melted butter, and milk. Add sugar if you’d like a touch of sweetness, then season with salt and black pepper. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Pour and Top. Pour the creamy corn mixture into the prepared baking dish. If desired, evenly sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top for a melty, flavorful crust.
  4. Bake. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly throughout and the top turns a golden brown color.
  5. Cool and Garnish. Carefully remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Before serving, garnish with chopped green onions for added color and a fresh bite, if desired.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, consider adding crushed crackers or breadcrumbs on top before baking.
  • You can substitute cream cheese with Neufchâtel cheese for a lower-fat version.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature to help it blend smoothly.
  • This casserole pairs nicely with roasted meats and can be served as a decadent side or a standalone vegetarian main dish.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated for up to 3 days.
