Directions
Heat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish so nothing sticks. In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and toss in the chopped onion. Let it cook for a couple of minutes until it softens, then add the garlic and sauté for another two minutes before taking the pan off the heat. In a big bowl, combine the whole kernel corn, creamed corn, sour cream, stuffing mix, half of the shredded Cheddar, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper. Stir in the sautéed onions and garlic until everything is well mixed. Pour the mixture into your prepared dish, then sprinkle the rest of the Cheddar cheese over the top. Pop it in the oven and bake for about 35 to 40 minutes, until the casserole is puffed up and golden on top. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
