Alright, flavor adventurers! It’s time to transform these ingredients into a Honey-Glazed Corn Casserole masterpiece. Don’t stress – your Honey-Glazed Corn Casserole is going to be incredible. Just follow these steps, and you’ll be golden.

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 8×8 inch baking dish. I like to use butter for extra flavor, but cooking spray works too.
2. In a large bowl, combine the creamed corn, drained corn, sour cream, and melted butter. Mix until everything is well combined. Don’t overmix!
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, flour, honey, salt, and pepper. Make sure there are no lumps.
4. Pour the egg mixture into the corn mixture and stir until just combined. Be gentle! We don’t want to develop the gluten in the flour.
5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread it out evenly.
6. If using, sprinkle the cheddar cheese over the top. This adds a nice cheesy crust.
7. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the top is golden brown. Pro tip for Honey-Glazed Corn Casserole perfection: insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, it’s done.
8. Let the Honey-Glazed Corn Casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. This allows it to set up a bit more.
