Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (15 oz each) whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 can (15 oz) creamed corn
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • Salt & pepper, to taste (about 1/2 tsp each)
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (for topping)
  • Extra bacon bits and green onions, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
  2. Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy (about 6-8 minutes). Drain on paper towels and crumble. Reserve some for topping.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together sour cream, softened cream cheese, and melted butter until smooth.
  4. Stir in drained whole kernel corn and creamed corn until evenly combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, lightly beat eggs and add to the corn mixture.
  6. Sprinkle in flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir gently until just combined.
  7. Fold in shredded cheddar cheese and most of the crumbled bacon. Save some cheese and bacon for topping.
  8. Pour mixture into prepared baking dish. Top with shredded mozzarella, reserved bacon, and green onions.
  9. Bake uncovered for 45-55 minutes, until top is golden and center is set (it should jiggle slightly but not slosh). If top browns too quickly, cover lightly with foil for last 15 minutes.
  10. Let casserole stand for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra green onions or parsley if desired.

Notes

For gluten-free, use almond flour. For vegetarian, omit bacon and add mushrooms or bell pepper. Shred your own cheese for best melt. Let casserole cool for 10 minutes before slicing for neat servings. If mixture is too wet, add a tablespoon of flour; if too dry, add a splash of milk. Casserole can be made ahead and refrigerated before baking. Leftovers freeze well.
