Some tips: If you don’t have creamed corn on hand, just drain most of the liquid out of a can of sweet corn and toss it into your blender, then blend until fairly smooth with some pieces of corn still visible. And instead of the dry ingredients, if you have a box of Jiffy Cornbread Mix, use it in their place.
Baking tips: The baking time will vary depending on the type of pan you put it in. I use an 8×8 baking dish, and it takes about 55 minutes. If you use a 9×13, it won’t take as long because the casserole is spread out thinner. Just test the middle with a toothpick – you’ll know it’s done when it comes out clean, except for maybe the shredded cheddar from the topping.
