Corn Casserole by Susan Drees – A Family Favorite That Never Fails to Impress!


This casserole has been passed around potlucks and holiday dinners for years. Susan Drees’ classic version brings together creamy corn, rich butter, and a hint of sweetness that turns a simple dish into something everyone wants seconds of!

This is one of those no-fail, always-loved side dishes. My mom used to make this every Thanksgiving, and the smell alone would pull us all into the kitchen before it hit the table.

Ingredients:

  1. 1 (15 oz) can whole kernel corn, drained
  2. 1 (15 oz) can cream-style corn
  3. 1 (8 oz) package Jiffy corn muffin mix
  4. 1 cup sour cream
  5. ½ cup (1 stick) butter, melted
  6. 1–1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for topping)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine both cans of corn, corn muffin mix, sour cream, and melted butter.
  3. Stir everything together until just combined—don’t overmix.
  4. Pour the mixture into a greased 9×9-inch or similar baking dish.
  5. Bake uncovered for 45–50 minutes until the top is golden and the center is set.
  6. If using cheese, sprinkle it over the top during the last 10 minutes of baking.
  7. Let it cool slightly before serving. It firms up as it sits and tastes even better!
