01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350 degrees 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 starts to soften, then add the garlic and cook for another two minutes. Take the pan off the heat once the onions and garlic are fragrant.

Step 2
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 onion and garlic mixture until everything is well mixed. Pour this into your prepared casserole dish and sprinkle the rest of the Cheddar cheese on top.
