Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 can (15 ounces) whole kernel corn, drained
- 1 can (15 ounces) creamed corn
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 package (8.5 ounces) corn muffin mix (such as Jiffy)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or a 2-quart casserole dish.
- Mix the Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, whole kernel corn, creamed corn, sour cream, and lightly beaten eggs.
- Stir in the corn muffin mix, granulated sugar, milk, salt, black pepper, and ground nutmeg (if using). Mix until well combined.
- Bake the Corn Pudding:
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the corn pudding to cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help it set and make it easier to cut into squares.
Enjoy your delicious Corn Pudding, a perfect blend of sweet and savory flavors with a creamy texture that will delight everyone at the table!
