Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 row Ritz crackers
  • 3 cans corn (15 oz. each, kernels, drained)
  • 1 can cream corn (15 oz. can)
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 box Jiffy corn muffin mix
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese (divided: 3/4 cup for mixture, 1/4 cup for topping)

Instructions

  1. Drain Corn: Drain the liquid from the three cans of corn kernels thoroughly to avoid excess moisture in the casserole.
  2. Prepare Mixture: Crush the Ritz crackers into small pieces and combine them in a large bowl with the drained corn kernels, cream corn, milk, eggs, Jiffy corn muffin mix, and 3/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
  3. Transfer to Baking Dish: Lightly spray a 9×12-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Spoon the corn mixture evenly into the prepared pan, spreading it out smoothly.
  4. Add Butter: Cut the 1/4 cup of butter into four equal pieces and evenly distribute them by gently pushing each piece near the edges of the casserole.
  5. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of grated cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
  6. Bake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake the casserole for about 35 minutes, or until the edges are browned and the center is set but still slightly soft. Avoid overcooking to maintain moisture and creaminess.
  7. Serve: Allow the casserole to cool slightly before serving warm. It makes a fantastic side dish and can be enjoyed as leftovers with a pleasingly soft and moist texture.

Notes

  • Do not overbake to prevent the casserole from becoming dry; it should have a soft, creamy consistency in the center.
  • Using crushed Ritz crackers adds a subtle buttery crunch and helps bind the mixture.
  • This dish pairs well with roasted meats, especially turkey or chicken, making it ideal for holiday meals.
  • Leftovers reheat well in the microwave or oven.
