Ingredients for Christmas Corn Casserole:
Method of preparing the Christmas Corn Casserole:
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
-
Grease a 9x13 casserole dish or a 10-inch oven-safe skillet.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Continuously whisking, pour in the vegetable oil, and mix until the batter is smooth and all the lumps are gone.
-
To the same mixing bowl, add the creamed corn, drained sweet corn, melted butter, and sour cream. Mix thoroughly until a smooth batter forms.
-
Pour the batter into the casserole dish and bake in the oven for 45-50 minutes.
-
Briefly take out the casserole dish from the oven and top the corn casserole with shredded cheese. Return the casserole for 10 more minutes. The cheese should be melted and the top should be golden brown.
-
Let the corn casserole rest for 5 minutes, then serve immediately.
Chef's Tip:
To make corn casserole ahead of time, prepare the batter as instructed, pour it into the casserole dish, and then cover with aluminum foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking as per the recipe directions.
