Ingredients

Scale

Corn Mixture

  • 2 cans (15 oz each) sweet corn, drained

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

  • ½ cup sour cream

  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • ¼ cup milk

  • ¼ cup sugar

  • ¼ tsp garlic powder

  • ¼ tsp onion powder

  • Salt & pepper, to taste

Topping

  • ½ cup crushed buttery crackers (like Ritz)

  • 2 tbsp melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 or 9×9 baking dish and set aside.

  2. Make the Corn Base
    In a large bowl, mix the cream cheese, sour cream, milk, sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth. Stir in corn and cheddar cheese until fully coated.

  3. Spread Into the Baking Dish
    Pour the creamy corn mixture into your prepared dish and smooth out the top.

  4. Prepare the Topping
    Combine the crushed buttery crackers with melted butter. Sprinkle the mixture evenly on top of the casserole.

  5. Bake
    Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are bubbly and the topping is perfectly golden.

  6. Serve
    Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with your favorite main dishes!

Notes

  1. Cream cheese blends easiest when softened let it sit at room temperature 20–30 minutes before mixing.
  2. If your casserole looks too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons extra milk to loosen the mixture before baking.
  3. For a crispier topping, broil the casserole for 1–2 minutes at the end, watching closely so it doesn’t burn.
