  • 15 oz. can cream corn (not drained)
  • 15 oz. can whole kernel corn (drained)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup melted butter

  • Optional: 1/4 cup of finely chopped ham

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease an 8-inch x 8-inch baking dish.

2. In a bowl, mix all ingredients together.

3. Pour into the pan and bake, uncovered, for 45-55 minutes. The top should be browned a little. 

You can also melt a little shredded cheese on top after it's fresh out of the oven for added zing. 

If you prefer, you can also make larger batches by doing equal parts canned corn, cream corn, egg  & muffin mix. (2 cans/pkg of each for a small batch, 4 for a larger & so forth.
