Cream Cheese Corn Casserole

Ingredients

2 cans (15 oz each) sweet corn, drained

1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened

½ cup sour cream

¼ cup butter, melted

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

½ cup milk

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon onion powder

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

¼ cup chopped green onions (optional)

(Tip: You'll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

I start by preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C). Then, I grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter to ensure the casserole doesn’t stick.

In a large mixing bowl, I combine the cream cheese, sour cream, melted butter, shredded cheddar cheese, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. I stir everything together until it’s smooth and well-blended.

After that, I add the drained corn to the mixture and stir until the corn is fully coated in the creamy mixture.

I pour the corn mixture into the prepared baking dish, making sure to spread it out evenly.

Now, it’s time to bake! I place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and bubbly, and the top is slightly golden.

For an extra pop of color and flavor, I like to garnish the casserole with chopped green onions before serving, though this step is optional.
