Here’s What You’ll Need
Jump to the recipe card for exact measurements!
Unsalted Butter: If you use salted butter here, just omit the salt in this recipe. Cream Style Corn: This corn helps to give a custard consistency to the casserole. Corn: Supplement that cream corn with a can of plain corn! I love the texture this gives the casserole. Sour Cream: Sour cream is my choice here, but you can try a full-fat plain Greek yogurt if you’re looking for a lower fat, higher protein option. Eggs: While many cornbread casseroles skip the eggs altogether, I’ve found the texture is best with them! Eggs give the casserole a fluffy texture; without eggs, the casserole is more custardy. Cornbread Mix: The star of the show! We opted for the classic Jiffy mix. Feel free to substitute a gluten-free alternative. Salt: Amplify the flavors and create a more tender end result with a bit of salt.
