Ingredients:

1 (15 oz) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 (15 oz) can creamed corn
1 cup sour cream
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 box (8.5 oz) Jiffy corn muffin mix
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for extra richness)
2 tablespoons chopped chives or green onions (for garnish, optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish or a similar-sized casserole dish with butter or nonstick spray.

2. Mix the Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained whole kernel corn, creamed corn, sour cream, melted butter, and eggs. Stir until everything is well mixed.

3. Add the Corn Muffin Mix:
Gradually stir in the Jiffy corn muffin mix, salt, and black pepper until just combined. If using cheese, fold in ½ cup of shredded cheddar for extra flavor.

4. Transfer to Baking Dish:
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. If using, sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of shredded cheddar on top.

5. Bake the Casserole:
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown. A toothpick inserted in the middle should come out mostly clean.

6. Rest and Serve:
Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped chives or green onions for a fresh contrast.

Serving Suggestions:

With BBQ: This casserole is a perfect side for ribs, pulled pork, or grilled chicken.
Holiday Favorite: Serve it alongside turkey, ham, or roast beef for a comforting holiday dish.
