  • ½ cup melted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tbsp honey (divided)
  • ½ tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.

  3. Step 3: Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish and place it in the oven.
  4. Step 4: Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the casserole is golden brown on top and set in the center.

  6. Step 6: Once baked, let the casserole rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving to allow it to firm up and the flavors to meld.

Tips & Variations

  • For a richer flavor, substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt or add a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese on top before the final honey drizzle.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm individual portions in the microwave or oven until heated through. This casserole also freezes well; thaw completely before reheating.

FAQs

Can I make this casserole ahead of time?

Yes, prepare the mixture and refrigerate it in the baking dish covered for up to 24 hours before baking. You may need to add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.

  • 1 box corn muffin mix (8.5 oz)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ½ cup melted butter (1 stick)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ tsp salt

Honey Glaze

  • 3 tbsp honey (divided, 2 tbsp in batter, 1 tbsp for drizzle)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking and prepare for the casserole.
  2. Mix Ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn muffin mix, whole kernel corn (drained), cream-style corn, sour cream, melted butter, eggs, salt, and 2 tablespoons of honey. Stir well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated and the batter is smooth.
  3. Bake the Casserole. Pour the prepared batter evenly into the greased 9×13-inch dish. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 45–50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set in the center.
  4. Add Honey Glaze. During the last 5 minutes of baking, carefully remove the casserole and drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of honey evenly over the top. Return it to the oven to finish baking.
  5. Rest Before Serving. Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5–10 minutes. This allows it to firm up slightly, making it easier to serve and enhancing the flavors.

Notes

  • Drain the whole kernel corn thoroughly to avoid excess moisture in the casserole.
  • Use melted butter for easy mixing and a rich flavor.
  • Letting the casserole rest before cutting helps retain its shape and texture.
  • Honey glaze adds a nice caramelized sweetness; do not skip the final drizzle step.
  • This dish pairs well with roasted meats or a fresh green salad.
