Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large eggs, beaten until smooth – These bind everything together.
  • 1 packet Martha White Honey Cornbread Muffin Mix – The star of the show, this mix gives the casserole its texture and sweetness. 7 oz
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled – Adds richness.
  • 1 can sweet creamed corn – Enhances the corn flavor. 15 oz
  • 1/4 cup thick Greek yogurt – For creaminess and a protein boost.
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, freshly shredded – Cheese makes everything better.
  • 1 can whole kernel corn, well drained – Extra corn for texture. 15 oz
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions – Adds a fresh touch.
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika – Gives it depth and warmth.

Method
 

Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
  1. First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your casserole cooks evenly.
Step 2: Prepare the Casserole Mixture
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the beaten eggs and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Next, add the cornbread muffin mix, sweet creamed corn, Greek yogurt, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well until there are no dry patches.
Step 3: Fold in the Goodness
  1. Now, fold in the drained whole kernel corn and chopped green onions. Here’s where the casserole gets exciting! The texture and flavors will be incredible.
Step 4: Season It Up
  1. Sprinkle the smoked paprika into the mixture. This will enhance the flavor profile, giving the casserole a subtle smokiness. Adjust the seasoning to your taste, if you'd like.
Step 5: Transfer to Baking Dish
  1. Grease a baking dish or casserole pan with a bit of butter. Pour the cornbread mixture into the dish and spread it out evenly.
Step 6: Bake Until Golden
  1. Place the dish in your preheated oven. Bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 7: Cool and Serve
  1. Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving. It’s best enjoyed warm, but it can also be savored at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Always opt for fresh eggs and cheese for the best flavor.
  • Don’t Overmix: Mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to a tough texture.
  • Add Spice: If you want more kick, add some diced jalapeños or diced green chiles to the mix.
  • Experiment with Cheese: Cheddar is great, but feel free to play with other cheeses like Monterey Jack or pepper jack.
  • Check for Doneness: Use a toothpick to check if the center is cooked through.
