This is the idiot proof basic corn bread pudding/casserole for thanksgiving or whenever you’re craving for one.

1 8.5-oz box of Jiffy corn muffin mix
2 extra-large eggs
½ cup butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 oz sour cream or yogurt(I use fresh viet da ua)
1 15-oz can of creamed corn
1 15-oz can of corn kernels(strain the juice for moisture adjustment)

Mix them all together and bake at 350 for 45-60 minutes depending on your oven. I like to add cheese and scallion in the mix and on top with crispy shallot.
