Creamy Honey Butter Corn Casserole - featured image

A warm and comforting corn casserole featuring a creamy honey butter blend and a crispy golden crust, perfect for busy nights or holiday dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups frozen or canned corn (about 300g)
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (about 57g), melted
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (120g), full-fat
  • 1 cup yellow cornbread mix (about 150g)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50g), optional
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • A pinch of black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your 9×9-inch casserole dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, sour cream, and egg until smooth and well combined (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Stir in the cornbread mix, sugar, salt, and pepper until just incorporated; avoid overmixing.
  4. Fold in the corn kernels gently, spreading them evenly throughout the batter.
  5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes until edges are bubbling and the top has a golden, slightly crispy crust.
  7. Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Grease the pan well to prevent sticking. Avoid overmixing to keep the casserole tender. If the crust browns too fast, tent with foil. Brushing melted butter on top before baking adds a glossy finish. Can be adapted with cheese, spices, or made vegan/dairy-free.
