Ingredients 

  • 1 box dry cornbread or corn muffin mix
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 10.8 oz. bag of frozen corn thawed
  • 1 14.75 oz. can cream corn
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 shots (2 oz.) bourbon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°
  • Spray a large casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Place the butter in the casserole dish and microwave it until the butter melts.
  • Whisk the sour cream into the butter.
  • Beat the eggs, and add them to the butter sour cream mixture.
  • Add both the can of cream corn and the fully thawed frozen corn.
  • Add 1 ounce of bourbon and stir.
  • Add the box of dry cornbread and mix completely.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes.
  • As soon as the casserole is out of the oven, while it's still hot, brush the top with 1 ounce of bourbon.

Notes

  • To thaw frozen corn quickly, remove it from the bag and place it in a colander. Run cool water over it for 2-3 minutes. Spread the corn out on a paper towel and then pat dry to remove most of the excess moisture.
  • Substitutions - you can omit the bourbon all together or substitute it with rum. Substitute canned corn instead of frozen corn.
  • Leftover bourbon brushed corn pudding makes a fantastic breakfast served with some fruit and toast.
  • Dress it up! You can easily dress up any casserole dish with a few baked pie crust pieces cut into seasonal shapes.
