deb's easy corn casserole
My mother, Deb, started a handwritten recipe book with all of us kids' faves and holiday traditions about a year before she passed in 2001. These recipes have become a way for us to still have Mom at our holiday meals for 14 years now. I've never shared until now any of her specialties. However, I find as each year passes, and as her grandchildren get older and begin to learn to cook, that time is so precious, as my mom passed in less than 5 minutes UNEXPECTEDLY and very young. I post these to keep her memory alive and to honor a great Mom and a wonderful cook.
Blue Ribbon Recipe
We absolutely loved everything about this corn casserole. It's very simple and has basic ingredients. Where this gets a little crazy, is it's cooked in a cast iron skillet like you would cornbread. When the slightly sweet casserole is done, it's inverted onto a platter showcasing the beautiful buttery crust that forms while cooking in the skillet. The crust is similar to cornbread crust, but inside the texture is like a fluffy bread pudding.
Ingredients
- 1 box Jiffy corn muffin mix (8.5 oz)
- 8 ounces sour cream
- 1 stick butter or margarine
- 1 - egg
- 1 can cream corn (14.75 oz)
- 1 can kernel corn, drained (15.25 oz)
