Why This Casserole Is a Culinary Game-Changer
This recipe takes the classic corn side dish and elevates it to new heights of indulgence. The secret? A full block of cream cheese, melted right into the mix. It doesn't just add creaminess; it adds a luxurious tang and richness that butter or milk alone can't achieve. Paired with the natural sweetness of corn and the salty crunch of a buttery topping, it creates a flavor and texture symphony that makes it impossible to stop at one spoonful.
Your Blueprint for Corn Casserole Perfection
The Creamy, Dreamy Corn Filling:
Canned Corn (3 cans, 15.25 oz each): Use 2 cans of whole kernel corn (drained) and 1 can of cream-style corn (undrained). This combination is perfect for texture.
Cream Cheese (8 oz block): Full-fat, softened to room temperature. The non-negotiable star.
Sour Cream (1 cup): Adds tang and ensures the casserole stays moist.
Butter (½ cup, 1 stick): Melted, for rich flavor.
Sugar (2 tbsp): Just enough to enhance the corn’s natural sweetness.
Seasoning: Salt, black pepper, and a pinch of paprika for depth.
