Corn Casserole

That time of year is approaching quickly. It's the time of year when you bring your favorite dishes to gatherings of your friends and your families and, of course, enjoy all their delicious food too.

Corn Casserole is one of my favorite side dishes. It is inexpensive and easy to make as well as scrumptious!

Ingredients:
1 can cream style corn
1 can whole kernel corn (drained)
1 cup sour cream
1 stick melted butter (1/2 cup)
2 eggs
1 box Jiffy corn muffin mix
1 to 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Grease the casserole dish.
3. Mix together all ingredients except cheese.
4. Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top if desired.
5. Cover with foil until the last 5 minutes of baking time.
6. Bake for 30-40 minutes or more.*


*The baking time will depend on whether you use a rectangular dish or a deeper, round dish. I always use a round dish and the baking time increases so much that I let it bake for 1-1/2 hours. If it is still jiggly in the middle, it needs to bake longer. Another sign that it is done is that the edges come away from the side of the dish just a little.

Corn Casserole is a great addition to the traditional Thanksgiving and Christmas meals of turkey, ham, stuffing, and mashed potatoes. It's good stuff! Enjoy!
