A delightful twist on classic spoon bread, this casserole combines the creaminess of corn with the richness of cheese for a comforting dish.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for your casserole.
In a mixing bowl, combine the corn, eggs, melted butter, and sour cream until well blended.
Mix gently to avoid breaking the corn kernels for a better texture.
Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish and spread evenly.
Greasing the dish prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes.
Check the casserole halfway through to ensure even baking.
Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the cheddar cheese evenly on top.
Use freshly grated cheese for better melting and flavor.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the cheese turn slightly golden for a delicious crust.
Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your cheesy cornbread casserole!
Cooling helps the casserole set, making it easier to serve.
