We use this recipe every year for Thanksgiving dinner, without the sugar. (The corn and muffin mix are sweet enough for us.) I double it for a group of about 14 folks. There is *never* even a spoonful left at the end of the evening!

I also leave out the sugar and add a small can of diced green chiles - it adds a really nice flavor and everyone loves it!

I agree, I never used the sugar and its flavor and taste is great. leave out the sugar and you'll enjoy it.
This dish goes well for the kids too, at first they dont seems to want it, but after the first bite they want more and will ask who made it. enjoy and have fun with it.

I have fixed it both ways for my family, and we prefer the recipe that includes the sugar. However, it is all a matter of preference. I suggest trying it with 1/8 cup sugar or even a little less.

I have made this 2 ways one way was the full fat version with the butter and regular sour cream...The next time I made it with fat free sour cream and I can't believe it's not butter spray to make it more figure friendly I loved it both ways. There didn't seem to be much difference in the taste at all... I too left out the sugar in both.

My family loved this (without the sugar). I am excited to try the figure friendly version - Thanks Pam!

I absolutely loved this recipe and we used the sugar and it was really good! I will make this my new addition to not only our holiday meals but as a part to the regular meals too.

I made 2 of these for lunch at the annual church meeting. I left out the sugar and they were still plenty sweet. I cut up 3 jalapeno peppers and put them in one for the people who like HOT!!! Both were completely gone. Everyone loved them and asked for the recipe.

Y'all are being silly about the sugar. I leave it out only if I am using fresh white corn. This is not a diet dish!

I made this for thanksgiving, and my husband requested it for christmas as well. I leave the sugar out, it tastes wonderful.

Leave out the sugar, but use a can of mexican corn instead of regular. It adds color to the dish.

Love this- we have made it for years (also without the added sugar.) Only difference is I use 1/3 cup canola oil instead of butter or margarine- a little less and better-for-you fat.

I don't add the sugar but I do add maple syrup. No measuring....just squirt some in. I have also made it with onions and japalenos without the syrup.

Just made this for Cristmas dinner. No sugar. Added third cup chipped jalepenos, one tablespoon of chili flakes and it was awesome. The only problem they left me no leftovers. Hint make an extra one for yourself! Thanks for the recipe.

We love this recipe (no sugar, not because of calories but because it is just right without). I fry a pound of crumbled breakfast sausage and add it. A one dish meal.

Very, very delicious. Made it with the sugar but next time I will try without. I may have to try to use variations to make it Weight Watcher friendly. Had to make a double batch in a casserole pan and it fed 11 adults no problem.

Try adding small pieces of left over ham, delicious.

I make this casserole, but I drain the whole kernel corn,and omit the sugar, add one cup shredded cheddar cheese, and only one egg. I'm thinking of adding diced onion.

My husband has to have this for our Thanksgiving dinner also. We add a medium onion, a small green pepper and 2 cups cheddar cheese. Not dietetic, but yummy!

I agree this recipe is tasty! Try it with shredded cheddar cheese on top & it's even tastier!

I love this recipe. I use this recipe as is, and my family loves it. I am the official corn casserole cook for our holidays

Instead of sour cream, use 1 can of cheddar cheese soup. Much better!

Absolutely LOVE this dish! I make it every year for Thanksgiving, and always bring to potlucks. I leave out sugar, add only 1/4c. butter, and add 1 cup of shredded colby jack or cheddar cheese - 1 cup in the mixture, 1 cup sprinkled over the top before baking. (it just doesn't need the sugar whether you're going diet or not) Yum!

Fabulous dish that I've made two years in a row. I too use the sugar but reduce it to about 1/4 cup or less, I just sprinkle it on. I'm definitely going to try it with mexicali corn or jalapenos next time and leave out the sugar.

I make this recipe with cream cheese instead of sour cream and it is delicious!

I took out the sugar as well and replaced the sour cream with plain nonfat greek yogurt, family and friends loved it.

I make this recipe also except in mine version you add about a 3/4 cup of pepperjack or colbyjack cheese, it's exceptional!

I have a question, do you add the Jiffy muffin mix in dry or do you prepare it as it says on the box and pour the batter on top?
Thanks

You add the Jiffy mix in dry. The egg, corn, sour cream, etc will be enough to moisten it. We love this recipe, but it's WAY too sweet! I only use about 2 Tbsp of sugar and that's plenty. Otherwise, it's a great change from the usual boring side dishes that I've grown tired of making.

I take this with me to all family get togethers.. Everyone loves it.. I ran out of sour cream one time and used french onion dip in it's place and it makes it takes even better..

I have never prepared a dish that went over as well as this one did. Great dish, I'm getting ready to make another one today for my son's birthday.

Have made this 2 years running for Thanksgiving Employee Luncheon and was requested again this year. I doubled the recipe and cooked 90 minutes. Has anyone tried making it in a crockpot?

I've been making this for years and everyone loves it! I also leave out the sugar, but after removing it from the oven I drizzle just a bit of honey on top. Excellent! I also make a version using crisply fried bacon, which I crumble, Mexicorn, and Mexican cornbread mix. I add most of the bacon to the mixture, bake, then instead of using honey I top it with cheddar cheese, pop it back into the oven for about 7 minutes, remove, and sprinkle with the remainder of the bacon. YUM!

I have to have this for the family for the holidays! I have made it for over 20 years. I use two cans of whole kernel corn, but always drained, as it gets too runny otherwise. I have never used the sugar and only one egg, beaten.

I've been making this recipe for years. I omit the sugar and I sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over top the last 5-10 minutes of baking.

Love this versatile recipe. It is great as-is or I like to add 4 oz roasted green chiles and top w/ 2 cups grated cheese. To make it a meal I also add diced smoked ham. Terrific for pot luck!

My southern Aunt, Sheri, shared this recipe with me. It has a wonderful addition - Vidalia Onions. Follow the recipe, skip the sugar,thinly slice 2 onions into rings, place on top of corn mixture. Bake @ 350°F for 45 - 50 minutes. There will be no leftovers.
