1-First: preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Then, combine all ingredients except for the cheddar cheese in a large bowl, making sure the whole kernel sweet corn is drained for the best texture. Pour the mixture into a lightly greased 9 x 13 casserole dish or 10-inch cast iron skillet and bake uncovered for 45 minutes.

2-Next, add the shredded cheddar cheese on top and bake for another 10-15 minutes until browned. Finally, let the casserole stand for 5 minutes before serving to let it set properly.

3-If you prefer variety, try the alternative oven method by topping the unbaked mixture with cheese right away, covering it, and baking for 55-60 minutes.

4-For those using a slow cooker, combine all ingredients except cheddar cheese in a lightly greased slow cooker and cook on high for 2-3 hours or low for 4 hours.

5-During the last 20 minutes, add the shredded cheddar cheese and ensure the center is firm and set before serving.
