Corn Casserole

1 (15 1/4-ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 (14 3/4-ounce) can cream-style corn
1 (8-ounce) package corn muffin mix (recommended: Jiffy)
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
1 to 1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large bowl, stir together the 2 cans of corn, corn muffin mix, sour
cream, and melted butter. Pour into a greased 9 by 13-inch casserole dish.

Bake for 45 minutes, or until golden brown.

Remove from oven and top with Cheddar.

Return to oven for 5 to10 minutes, or until cheese is melted.

Let stand for at least 5 minutes and then serve warm.



NOTE FROM GINA:
In my opinion, a whole stick of butter is not necessary,
half is enough . . .
