- 1/2 cup white sugar
Canned Corn
- 1 can corn (drained, approximately 15 oz)
- 1 can cream-style corn (approximately 14.75 oz)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9 inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.

- Transfer to Pan and Spread Evenly: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan, leveling the top with a spatula to ensure even cooking.
- Bake the Casserole: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top turns lightly golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the casserole to cool slightly before cutting it into squares. Serve warm as a delicious side dish to complement your meal.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the casserole tender.
- This casserole can be made a day ahead and reheated in the oven.
- To make it spicier, add a small amount of diced jalapeño or chili powder.
